In this season's Champions League round of 16, Tottenham will play Atlético Madrid away first, then home over two legs.

Tottenham and Atlético Madrid have faced each other in just one official competitive match: the 1962–63 European Cup Winners' Cup final. Tottenham thrashed their opponents 5–1 at the De Kuip stadium to claim the first European trophy in club history.
