Is Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League clash

Tottenham and Atletico Madrid contest a place in the last eight - (AP)

Tottenham have it all to do after a calamitous first leg performance left them trailing Atletico Madrid 5-2.

Spurs conceded four times in the first 22 minutes of the Champions League round of 16 tie, with Igor Tudor substituting Antonin Kinsky early on having given the young goalkeeper his first appearance in the competition.

While goals from Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke restored a modicum of respectability, home prospects of progression are slim even after an improved Premier League showing against Liverpool at the weekend.

Atletico will know a quarter-final place is within their grasp provided they can avoid a collapse in London.
