Such a debut is sure to stay with the young goalkeeper for a long time.

Details: After a crushing defeat at the Metropolitano against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor gave his thoughts on the disappointing Champions League debut of 22-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky during a post-match flash interview.

Tudor considers Kinsky a talented goalkeeper, but what happened last night was something no one could have predicted:

"Bringing on Kinsky was the right decision, he's a talented goalkeeper. But then something happened... In 15 years, I've never seen anything like it.

I substituted him to help him. But this season, it seems like everything is going against us."

Kinsky made his first start for the Spurs in a Champions League match, but his debut turned into a nightmare—the young Czech conceded three goals in just 15 minutes and was substituted in the 18th minute.
