Atlético Madrid travelled to Tottenham for the UEFA Champions League second leg, where the Spaniards matched an unfortunate club record.
Details: The Colchoneros conceded a goal in the 30th minute, and according to Stats Foot, Atlético have now allowed at least one goal in 12 consecutive UEFA Champions League matches. This marks the worst defensive streak in the club’s history in the tournament.
Incidentally, Lamine Yamal failed to deal with one of the situations and attempted an ill-advised backheel pass, which ultimately led to Newcastle’s goal.
Reminder: Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal scored in this match, making history in the UEFA Champions League with his achievement.
