The UEFA Champions League 1/8 final clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London is scheduled for 20:00 UTC on 18 March 2026. Tottenham come in as one of the form sides of the competition (ranked 4th, 17 points, goal difference +10), perfect at home with 10-0 goals in four matches. Atletico Madrid sit 14th in the overall table with 13 points and a +2 goal difference.
Tottenham Injury Report
Tottenham face a severe availability crisis. Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison are all ruled out, along with Souza. On top of that, Conor Gallagher (illness), João Palhinha (head injury), Cristian Romero (head injury) and Destiny Udogie (muscle issue) are all doubtful and will require late fitness checks. This strips Spurs of multiple creative and ball-winning options across midfield and attack.
Atletico Madrid Injury Report
Atletico Madrid’s list is lighter but still significant. Pablo Barrios and Rodrigo Mendoza are sidelined, while first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak is also ruled out with a muscle injury, forcing a change in goal. Crucially, leading scorer and creator Julián Álvarez (7 goals, 3 assists) and fellow forward Alexander Sørloth (5 goals, 1 assist) are both fit and available.
Impact-wise, Tottenham lose a large chunk of their usual attacking depth, while Atletico retain their main goal threat but must cope without Oblak’s presence at the back.
