Tottenham Fans Celebrate Vicario Snub for Champions League Round of 16 Clash
Italian international Guglielmo Vicario has been excluded from the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup by former Juventus coach Igor Tudor for Tuesday evening’s Champions League round of 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid.
Vicario Benched for Key Champions League Encounter
This season has been challenging for Vicario and his Tottenham teammates domestically, as they find themselves battling against relegation in the Premier League. Despite their struggles in the league, the team managed to progress to the Champions League knockout stage, having finished fourth in their group.
Under Igor Tudor, who took over from Thomas Frank on February 13, Tottenham have suffered defeats in all three of their initial matches. The former Juventus tactician, despite being appointed on a short-term contract until the end of the 2025-26 season, is already facing scrutiny regarding his position.
In a strategic change, Tudor made the decision to bench goalkeeper Vicario for the crucial Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. This move has been met with considerable enthusiasm and approval from Tottenham's online fanbase.
Supporters were quick to voice their approval online. "Finally, Kinsky is between the sticks, I’ve been rooting for him," commented one fan on social media platform X.
Others felt Antonin Kinsky's inclusion in the starting lineup was "100% deserved."
"It’s about damn time," another fan posted, with another adding, "Vicario getting dropped is one positive I suppose."
