Atletico Madrid – Knockout fate hangs in the balance?

Spain’s La Liga champions from the previous campaign could find themselves out of the Champions League as early as this Wednesday. A loss at home to AC Milan coupled with FC Porto upsetting section winners Liverpool would see Diego Simeone’s men exit at the group stage for only the third occasion in twelve such appearances. Fortunately their record against their next opponents points to a more positive outcome.

This will be the fourth meeting between the clubs, Atletico winning the previous three including a come-from-behind victory in Milan in September. Yet that remains their sole success so far in Group B. Having opened with an inspiring scoreless draw at home to Porto, Simeone’s charges were then dispatched home (2-3) and away (2-0) by Liverpool meaning they have won only six of their past 18 UCL matches (D4 L8).

Key Stat: The Spanish side boast a formidable record when hosting teams from Italy, winning six and losing none of the past seven such matches in the Champions League.

 

 

AC Milan – Seven-time winners on the brink?

Seven-time European champions AC Milan have featured beyond the group stage in each of their previous eleven Champions League appearances. It is a fine record, but one that looks set to be broken barring an extraordinary turn of events across the final two rounds. Realistically the Rossoneri must take maximum points from games against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool and pray other results fall favourably.

Milan may even be eliminated from Europe altogether on the night, such is the precariousness of their situation. Stefano Pioli and his team sit top of Serie A through thirteen rounds but have a single point from four outings in Group B. That came last time out, coming from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at San Siro with Porto, leaving them with a dire record of one win from their past eleven UCL matches (D4 L6).

Key Stat: AC Milan don’t enjoy facing Spanish opposition, winning one of their last sixteen such meetings (D6 L9) having lost each of the past five as the visiting team.
