"Tottenham" team nearly buried their hopes of advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Igor Tudor's crew lost 2:5 away to Atletico Madrid and will have to create a small miracle in the return match of the round of 16 if they want to move forward.

A lot contributed to the tragic result, including the decision of "Tottenham" coach to throw inexperienced goalkeeper Antonín Kinský "into the fire."

The 22-year-old Czech made unforgivable mistakes before he was substituted at the request of "Tottenham" captain Cristian Romero after conceding three goals by the 17th minute.

Thus, A. Kinský entered the Champions League record books – until now, no goalkeeper had ever conceded three goals so quickly in their debut match.

Internet users speculate that the tragic debut was determined by one detail – the Czech has a similar hairstyle to the previously notorious Loris Karius.
