Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will face off again on Wednesday night for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Metropolitano, with Los Blancos holding a 2-1 advantage after a thrilling first leg last week.
Brahim Diaz scored a dramatic late winner for Carlo Ancelotti’s side at the Bernabeu last Tuesday, following stunning goals from Rodrygo and Julian Alvarez in both halves.
Historically, this fixture in the Champions League has favored Real Madrid, whether in the 2014 and 2016 finals or the 2017 semi-finals. However, Atletico can take some comfort from their strong record at home against their bitter rivals, having lost just once in their last seven encounters at the Metropolitano.
In cup competitions, Atletico are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Real Madrid, winning four. To stay in contention for progression, they must claim victory here after last week's defeat. Atletico have faced the challenge of losing the first leg in a Champions League knockout tie six times before but have still managed to advance three times, all through remarkable comebacks at home in the second leg.
Manager Diego Simeone will be hoping for another turnaround like last season when Atletico overturned a one-goal deficit against Inter Milan in the last 16. Given Atletico's formidable home form in Europe, Real Madrid will know this is no ordinary challenge. The hosts haven’t lost at home in the knockout stages of the Champions League in 28 years, maintaining an unbeaten record across 18 matches since Ajax won at the Vicente Calderon in March 1997.
After winning eight consecutive away games at the Calderon between 2008 and 2014, Real Madrid have since struggled in the fixture, claiming just three victories in their last 17 visits to Atletico’s new home.
