Tottenham player ratings vs Atletico Madrid - Archie Gray remarkable as Xavi and Romero dazzle

Here are our Tottenham player ratings after they beat Atletico Madrid on the night but lost on aggregate in their Champions League clash

Tottenham can put away their passports for at least 18 months after they beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 on Wednesday evening but went down 7-5 on aggregate in their Champions League last 16 second leg match and here are our Spurs player ratings.

Spurs came into the game with a 5-2 scoreline from the first leg in Madrid eight days previously, but had since put in a battling display to grab a draw at Anfield against Liverpool. Tudor had to deal with 11 missing players including the suspended Richarlison and injured Dominic Solanke.

However, captain Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven returned to the team among four changes, with Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall and Conor Gallagher back on the bench.

Spurs took the game to the visitors and opened the scoring on the half hour. The bright Mathys Tel picked out his compatriot Randal Kolo Muani with a curling cross from the right and the striker headed into the bottom left corner of the net.

Atletico then found the net two minutes into the second half. Xavi Simons was knocked over as he went to shoot at one end and Atletico broke up the pitch and Julian Alvarez rocketed an effort into the top left corner.

Just five minutes later though and Spurs struck again. Great work from Archie Gray saw him win the ball back, play a one-two with Pape Matar Sarr, and then he knock it inside for the Dutchman to curl home a low effort.

Atletico found another though when David Hancko got in front of Sarr to nod home a header from a corner.

Spurs got a late penalty when Xavi was felled in the box and he clipped in the penalty off the inside of the left-hand post but the hosts were left to rue a couple of missed chances in either half that could have ended things differently.

They went off to a standing ovation from the crowd for another promising display under Igor Tudor.

Here are our Spurs player ratings:

Guglielmo Vicario

Made a terrific first half reaction save to push away Simeone's shot as it deflected off Romero. Couldn't do much about Alvarez's powerful effort from inside the box. Made a couple of impressive second half saves to keep Spurs in the contest. 8

Radu Dragusin

Started the game as a right-back and he put in a good battling shift. Sent a header at the keeper from a corner before coming off. 6

Cristian Romero

Made an important clearance in front of his own goal early in the game. Made another crucial interception in a similar position at the other end in the second half and a big block to deny Alvarez after Atletico's second goal. Hit some lovely diagonal balls on a night when Toby Alderweireld was back in the house. 8

Micky van de Ven

A busy night back in the team and the Dutchman did most of what was asked of him. 6

Djed Spence

A couple of mistakes, including being disposessed for a second half Atletico chance but defended well otherwise. Made a great sprint back and sliding tackle in added time to stop Baena going through to score. 7

Pedro Porro

Had a big chance saved by Musso around the hour mark and the keeper pawed away his dangerous cross moments later. Worked hard but will rue that saved opportunity. 6

Archie Gray

Looks so comfortable at this level and he was leading the charge from the midfield in the first half. His performance was typified by his interception and assist for Xavi's goal. One of his best performances in a Spurs shirt. Even Llorente came over to shake his hand before he left the pitch for the 20-year-old was excellent. 9

Pape Matar Sarr

Involved in Spurs' second goal but beaten by Hancko to the ball for Atletico's second. Covered plenty of ground but played second fiddle to Gray on this occasion. 6

Xavi Simons

Came up with some moments of real quality, not least his curling goal in the second half. Then won a late penalty and fired it home. 8

Randal Kolo Muani

Worked hard up front and deserved his headed goal into the bottom left corner. Had a late chance blocked. 7

Mathys Tel

Had a hat-trick of shots in the opening 23 minute, the final one requiring a near post save from Musso. Then found himself on the right and picked out Kolo Muani with a pinpoint cross. Had another big moment in the first half when he should have played it across goal to two waiting Spurs players but shot instead. Faded in the second half. 7

Subs

Destiny Udogie

Booked soon after coming on and wasn't able to bring too much to the attack but he will get sharper. 5

Lucas Bergvall

Came on for the final 15 minutes or so and brought some energy. 5

Conor Gallagher

Had a late claim for a penalty in added time. N/A

Callum Olusesi

His Champions League debut and he tried to make things happen. N/A

Kevin Danso

Came on for Romero for the final minutes. N/A
