Antonin Kinsky had a nightmare of a Champions League proper debut as Tottenham Hotspur faced Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

The Czechia goalkeeper started ahead of Guglielmo Vicario in a surprising change from Igor Tudor at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on 10 March.

After two disastrous errors from the 22-year-old, with the LaLiga club scoring three goals in the opening 15 minutes, the Croatian manager realised his mistake and made an immediate change in between the sticks.

Diego Simeone’s team beat Tottenham 5-2, but the Lilywhites’ faithful have already given their verdict on Kinsky and Tudor’s possible futures.

Tottenham fans want Igor Tudor gone after Antonin Kinsky treatment vs Atletico Madrid

Kinsky has probably played his final game for Tottenham, but one fan on X feels the way he handled the goalkeeping situation should be the “final straw” for Tudor’s time in N17.

The Croatian manager has been accused of effectively killing the Czechia shot-stopper’s confidence after snubbing him while he was going down the tunnel.

There was another supporter who believed Kinsky and Tudor’s careers might be up at the North London outfit after an embarrassing opening 15 minutes from the Lilywhites.

Many of the Spurs faithful expressed sympathy with the young goalkeeper, with fears over his future at the club.

With Tottenham capitulating in the Spanish capital, one fan expects them to get relegated after the horror show, with nine losses predicted in the English top flight.

Questions have also been asked of the North London outfit’s sporting director, Johan Lange, who apparently scouted the former Slavia Prague youngster extensively before signing him.

Igor Tudor seals Spurs fate after one drastic decision

Tudor was already under pressure at Tottenham before the loss at the Metropolitano Stadium.

The Croatian manager’s goalkeeping change and the subsequent lack of communication regarding his decision should rightly be the cause for his sacking.

Spurs have nine fixtures left in the Premier League, which will determine their status in the top flight, and Tudor can’t be in charge for the upcoming matches.

There’s already a lot of toxicity around the former Juventus boss’ tenure in North London, and ENIC must make a change now.
