What does Tottenham need to qualify?

Tottenham need to win by 4 clear goals (e.g. 4-0) to level the aggregate at 5-5 and force extra time. A 4-1 win would make it 6-6 and also go to extra time. Anything less and Atletico go through.

Team news and predicted lineups

Tottenham Hotspur

Interim manager Igor Tudor will likely go full attack — there's nothing to lose. Guglielmo Vicario should start in goal after his more assured showing after replacing Kinsky in the first leg. Cristian Romero is the defensive anchor and absolutely needs to be at his best for this to mean anything.

⚪ Tottenham Hotspur — Key availability
Vicario ✅ Cristian Romero ✅ Son Heung-min ✅ Dominic Solanke ✅ Pedro Porro ✅

Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone may rotate given the comfortable lead. Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth remain the main attacking threats, while Antoine Griezmann provides the creative spark.
