00:00But when Connor Gallagher left Madrid to return to London, it wasn't originally to come back to
00:03After a month and a half, huh!
00:04It's official, the draw has been made and Atletico Madrid will be in the round of 16.
00:08to face Tottenham.
00:08The first leg is at our home ground, the second leg is in England.
00:12And I might be telling you something you didn't know, but the two clubs have already faced each other in the European Cup.
00:15So it only happened once, and it wasn't yesterday, it was in 1963, in the final of
00:19Cup Winners' Cup, we got our puck smashed 5-1.
00:21Well, I wasn't born yet, and neither was Vaudaron.
00:23But the context is very different here because I'm sorry, with all due respect,
00:27Tottenham, we have to qualify.
00:29Tottenham has had a huge number of absentees, and will have quite a few more.
00:32Okay, here's the list of injured players at Tottenham.
00:34Koulouz is injured in Liscio, he is not expected to return before April 2026.
00:37Koulouz is what it is, it won't be before March 2026.
00:39Pedro Poro, the new boyfriend of ex-Ageo FĂ©lix, he's doing well, he's making a comeback.
00:43Bergval injured his ankle; even Tottenham haven't announced a return date, but it will be
00:46Not for several weeks.
00:48Kevin Dansou, the former Lançois player, should also be back soon.
00:51Destiny will not return until mid-March.
00:53And then, Maddison with his cruciate ligaments, Ben Davies with his ankle, Ben Tankour with his hamstrings, Koulouz is what
00:58to the leg.
00:59And finally, with Odober's knee injury, these 5 guys also won't be there for the match against...
01:02'Atletico.
01:03In other words, that means fewer people.
01:05Don't forget that Tottenham are more focused on avoiding relegation than finishing in the top 10 in England.
01:08So, Hugo Rthoudor has arrived at the club, there are some players returning from injury, so things should be better.
01:12for them, anyway.
01:13But as we speak, even if the Premier League is more complicated than La Liga,
01:15Atletico are 3rd in La Liga, Tottenham are 16th in the Premier League.
01:19Don't ask me how those guys managed to finish 4th in the Champions League, I don't know
01:23Not myself.
01:23And now they've just been thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal at home.
01:26In short, there's certainly still a lot to say; it's been a few weeks since I last talked about
01:29Tottenham,
01:29I'm going to watch them this weekend, we'll see what they're like.
01:31But come on, there's still one point in Tottenham's favor, it's true they're going to play
01:34the return matches at home.
01:35And you know Atletico, we can be one of the best teams in Europe, as well as one of the most
01:39nobodies in Europe,
01:39But it's often at home that we're warmed up, and it's often away from home that
01:42'We're absolutely rubbish.'
01:43So, the scenarios that scare me right now are that we'll put a drill on Tottenham in the match
01:47Okay,
01:47but in terms of the score, we win by a narrow 1-0, a narrow 2-1, well, something like that
01:51like that,
01:52Let's make the most of our opportunities, remember Atletico Dortmund, it's the same match.
01:55We really thrashed Dortmund, we really should have beaten them 4-0 in the first leg.
01:58We only beat them 2-1, then conceded a goal somewhat out of nowhere at the end of the match.
02:01We lost 4-2.
02:02In short, to my Spurs friends watching the video, good luck!
