De Gea supports Kinsky after Spurs UCL nightmare

In a sport that can be as cruel as it is beautiful, Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky experienced the ultimate professional nightmare on Tuesday night. Handed a surprise start by manager Igor Tudor ahead of Guglielmo Vicario for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, the young Czech Republic international saw his big moment evaporate in a matter of minutes. After conceding three goals and committing two high-profile errors in the opening quarter of an hour, Kinsky was ruthlessly hauled off by his manager, leaving the pitch in tears and heading straight down the tunnel.

The Fosun International-owned Premier League club sold two of their best players during the summer and squandered the proceeds on sub-standard signings. However, the fact that Fiorentina have yet to win a single game in Serie A is shocking.
