Atletico Madrid advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with a 7-5 aggregate victory over Tottenham Hotspur, despite a 3-2 defeat in their second-leg encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Spanish side, who dominated the first leg with a 5-2 win at home, weathered a fierce Tottenham surge in north London. Randal Kolo Muani gave the hosts a halftime lead with a powerful header.
Julian Alvarez equalized early in the second half, but Xavi Simons restored Tottenham's advantage with a curling strike.
Atletico keeper Juan Musso made critical saves under pressure, and David Hancko's near-post header sealed the aggregate win in the 87th minute.
Simons converted a 90th-minute penalty, but it was too late to change the outcome. Tottenham now turn focus to avoiding Premier League relegation.
Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona in the next round.
