Tottenham have now set an unwanted record that highlights the scale of their struggles in all competitions this season.

There is no denying this is one of the bleakest moments in Tottenham Hotspur’s modern history.

It all seems to be falling apart rather quickly on all fronts for Spurs this campaign, with results not going their way both domestically and in Europe.

While Spurs’ European form had looked impressive in the league phase of the Champions League, the round-of-16 first-leg tie against Atletico Madrid served as a painful reminder of where the club currently stands.

Tottenham record sixth straight defeat after Atletico Madrid loss

According to Opta, the 5-2 defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium now marks Spurs’ sixth consecutive defeat in matches across all competitions.

That is understood to be a new record for Tottenham, who have not endured such a run in their entire history, highlighting just how far they have sunk.

There is a need for an upturn in results, given their struggles, but it remains to be seen where that victory will come from as their winless 2026 run continues.

Spurs will now turn their attention back to the Premier League, where they are battling to retain their top-flight status – one they have held for close to half a century.

However, with a clash against Liverpool next, it is looking like it will be another long day at the office on Sunday evening.

Tottenham cannot afford to allow this winless run to continue for much longer, as they could lose everything if they do not arrest this slump.
