**Atletico Madrid Secures UEFA Champions League Spot with Win Over Tottenham Hotspur** Atletico Madrid forward Ademola Lookman has revealed that his team's mentality kept them in the game against Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium, despite being down by a goal in the first half. The 28-year-old was speaking after the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie, which Atletico ultimately won. The first leg at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano saw Los Rojiblancos secure a 5-2 win over Igor Tudor's Tottenham Hotspur, giving them a three-goal advantage heading into the away leg. However, Tottenham Hotspur had other plans, with Randal Kolo Muani heading home the game's first goal in the 30th minute. Despite being down, Atletico Madrid held their ground, thanks in part to their strong mentality. "We're very happy to be in the next round," Lookman said in a post-match interview with UEFA. "Every game is hard. Everyone knows this competition and the quality of the teams." He also acknowledged that Tottenham Hotspur's goal could have been the catalyst for a collapse, but his team's mentality kept them in the game. "The boys that we have and the mentality that we have to stay in the game, so we did," he explained. Atletico Madrid will now face Barcelona in the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League, a match that Lookman described as "a special game against another tough opponent." Despite the challenge ahead, Lookman remains optimistic, saying, "We need to be ready; we'll prepare for that. Next game is for the weekend, and we'll take it game by game." In the meantime, Atletico Madrid will focus on their La Liga match against Real Madrid on Sunday, as they look to secure a UEFA Champions League spot ahead of next season.
