Match Facts

  • This will be the 11th meeting between Atlético de Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in European competition, with each side sharing three wins each so far (four draws). However, the German side are unbeaten across the most recent three, winning two of those (D1).

  • Atlético de Madrid are unbeaten in their last 10 home games against German sides in the UEFA Champions League (W7 D3), while Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to become the first German team to win away to them in the competition since Borussia Dortmund in October 1996 (1-0).

  • Bayer Leverkusen are the opponent that Diego Simeone has faced most often in the UEFA Champions League (8 games, all with Atlético de Madrid). He has lost (3) as many games as he has won (3) against the German side in the competition, along with two draws.

  • Atlético de Madrid have won each of their last three games in the UEFA Champions League by an aggregate score of 11-2 and could win four in a row in the competition for the first time since November 2016 (5).

  • Only Liverpool (5) have won more games to nil than Bayer Leverkusen (4) in the UEFA Champions League so far this season with only Atalanta (10) keeping more clean sheets than the German side (9) in major European competition since the beginning of last season.

  • Atlético de Madrid’s first two goals against Slovan Bratislava last time out were both scored following 19-pass moves (netted by Julián Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann). Indeed, only two goals have been scored in the UEFA Champions League this term following a sequence longer than 19 passes (21 – Bukayo Saka for Arsenal v Monaco and 34 – Jamie Gittens for Borussia Dortmund v Dinamo Zagreb).

  • Antoine Griezmann has been directly involved in six goals in six UEFA Champions League games for Atlético de Madrid this season (four goals, two assists). If the Frenchman scores or assists here, he will become the first player to reach 50+ goal involvements for the club in the competition (currently on 49 – 36 goals, 13 assists).

  • Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has created the joint-most chances from open play in the UEFA Champions League this season (18 – level with Malik Tillman). However, 14 of those chances have been created while under high-intensity pressure from an opposition player; the outright most in the tournament this term.

  • Marcos Llorente has made the joint-most assists in the UEFA Champions League this season (4), all four of which have been from open play. No Atlético de Madrid player has ever assisted more than four times in a single season in the competition.

  • Since the start of the 2021-22 campaign, no full back or wing back has been directly involved in more goals in the UEFA Champions League than Bayer Leverkusen’s Álex Grimaldo (12 – four goals, eight assists). Indeed, this is despite the Spaniard not featuring at all in the 2023-24 edition.
