How and where can I watch Tottenham Hotspur
Spain’s Atletico Madrid beat England’s Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in their International Champions Cup pre-season match in Melbourne with their goalkeeper Jan Oblak pulling off two magical saves on Friday.
Simeone will come face to face with his former Argentina worldwide teammate Mauricio Pochettino when Atletico face Tottenham Hotspur in the global Champions Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. However, Pochettino will be delighted with the way his side outplayed last season’s Champions League runners up, as they prepare to make their return to that competition.
Check out Oblak’s save in the video below.
Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen were the only two regular starters who began, but encouragingly the £17million Janssen showed promise in the absence of Harry Kane.
“We want to win every single game that comes, and to try and reach the final again and see if we can win titles this year”, the Ghana global said.
Despite their dominance in possession, Spurs looked susceptible to set pieces and that was how the Madrid side took the lead a couple of minutes before the break. Yedlin then burst down the left side to win a corner and, when Atletico failed to clear, Onomah sent a volley crashing against the crossbar from eight yards. Subs: McGee 6, Walker-Peters 6, Ball 6, Carroll 6, Mason 7, Miller 6, Edwards 7, Son 6, Chadli 6. Lamella plays a neat 1-2 with Janssen and smashes the ball back off the inside of the post.
Having shaken off his early nerves, Oblak produced an exquisite save to deny Mason on 59 minutes before tipping Vincent Janssen’s free-kick around the post a minute later.
