The only previous UEFA European meeting between Atlético Madrid and RB Leipzig was in a single-legged quarter-final in 2019-20, won 2-1 by the German side at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.
Atlético Madrid have suffered five defeats in their last eight UEFA Champions League meetings with German clubs (W1 D2), their only win in that sequence coming at home to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of last season’s quarter-final.
Atlético Madrid were the only side with a 100% home win ratio in last season’s UEFA Champions League, winning all five games. It’s their fourth different run of five home wins in a row but they have never previously won six in a row on home soil in the competition.
RB Leipzig have lost their opening game in two of the last three UEFA Champions League campaigns, although they won 3-1 against Young Boys last season. Those three games have produced 18 goals, an average of six per game.
Only Sevilla (30 years, 66 days) named an older starting XI on average in last season’s UEFA Champions League than Atlético Madrid (29 years, 331 days). Their last starting XI of the campaign away at Borussia Dortmund had an average of 31 years and 6 days, their oldest for any Champions League match.
Among teams to have played 25+ games in the competition, RB Leipzig’s matches have seen more goals scored per game in the UEFA Champions League than any other side (3.52 – 162 in 46 games; 80 for, 82 against).
Antoine Griezmann scored with 27% of his shots in the UEFA Champions League last season; the highest conversion rate of any player (6/22 - min. 20 attempts). The only players who bettered Griezmann’s six goals in the competition last term were Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane (eight each).
This will be Atlético manager Diego Simeone's 12th consecutive season managing in the UEFA Champions League, the joint longest current run of any manager along with Pep Guardiola. Indeed, only José Mourinho (13, 2003-04 - 2015-16), Alex Ferguson (17, 1996-97 - 2012-13), Arsène Wenger (19, 1998-99 - 2016-17) have had longer consecutive seasons managing in the competition.
Atlético Madrid midfielder Rodrigo De Paul created eight chances via line-breaking passes in the UEFA Champions League last season; the joint-most of any player in the 2023-24 edition (along with Rodri and Vitinha).
Loïs Openda scored four goals in last season's UEFA Champions League for RB Leipzig, with only Christopher Nkunku in 2021-22 netting more in a single campaign for the Germans (7). Among all players to play 500+ minutes last season, only Lautaro Martínez (5.8) and Erling Haaland (5) averaged more shots per 90 minutes than Openda (4.7).
