Rewriting history. Atlético Madrid score four first-half goals in the Champions League for the first time

Atlético Madrid are hosting Tottenham in a UEFA Champions League clash and made history already in the first half.

Details: According to Opta, Atlético Madrid have scored four goals in the first half of a UEFA Champions League match for the first time in the club’s history. They also become the second Spanish team to achieve this feat after Barcelona.

At the Air Metropolitano Stadium in Riyadh, 22-year-old Antonín Kinský experienced a personal nightmare. Handed a starting role in the Champions League knockout stage by Igor Tudor, the young goalkeeper simply could not cope with the pressure from the Madrid crowd.

By the 16th minute, Tottenham were already trailing 0–3, with two of those goals coming directly from glaring mistakes by the Czech keeper.

Reminder: Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta has clarified rumors surrounding a potential transfer of Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez.
