Tottenham, Celtic and Birmingham all lost their Europa League games leaving their progression in the competition hanging by a thread. Spurs went down 2-1 at home to 10-man PAOK Salonika on a controversial night at White Hart Lane.
The home side went two goals down, pulled a goal back and then thought they had equalised through Jermain Defoe in the second half, but referee Bas Nijhuis penalised the striker for a foul.
Tottenham now need to win against Shamrock Rovers in Ireland in a fortnight's time and hope PAOK overcome Rubin Kazan in Thessaloniki.
An Arda Turan strike in the 29th minute was enough to give Atletico Madrid a 1-0 victory over Celtic at Parkhead.
Birmingham missed a first-half penalty then conceded the only goal of the game shortly after the break for a 1-0 defeat at Braga.
The Blues can still qualify if they beat Maribor at home next month.
