Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven says they found themselves in a "doomsday scenario" during their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, adding the club is "just taking blow after blow". The Premier League club trailed 4-0 after only 22 minutes, with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky withdrawn in the 17th minute, having conceded three times in an error-strewn start. Van de Ven, speaking to Dutch broadcaster Ziggo Sport, said the start of the match was "terrible", adding: "It's actually a doomsday scenario. "For our goalkeeper it's terrible as well of course. "For 15 minutes we just conceded goals that you really can't do anything about."
