Antonin Kinsky has thanked those who have sent him messages of support on social media after a “nightmare” display in Tottenham Hotspur’s Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Czech goalkeeper was substituted after 17 minutes with Spurs trailing 3-0 in the Spanish capital, having made errors which led to Atletico’s first and third goals.<\/p>\n
The Premier League side went on to lose the first leg of their last-16 tie 5-2.<\/p>\n
Kinsky posted on his Instagram story: “Thanks for the messages. From dream to nightmare to dream again. See you.”<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old was consoled by several team-mates as he made his way off the field.<\/p>\n
Spurs manager Igor Tudor, who had selected him to start ahead of Guglielmo Vicario, did not acknowledge Kinsky at the time but said in his post-match media conference that he had spoken with his goalkeeper afterwards.<\/p>\n
The former Croatia international said of the substitution: “It was necessary to preserve the guy and preserve the team.<\/p>\n
“It was, before the game, the right choice to do in the moment we are [in] – pressure on Vicario, another competition and Toni is a very good goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
“So it was, for me, the right decision. After, it’s easy to say it was not the right decision.<\/p>\n
“I explained to Toni, speaking after, that he is the right guy and a good goalkeeper. Unfortunately, these mistakes happened in this big game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
