Information about Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid has been one of the most consistent teams in the history of UEFA Champions League, even though they are yet to win the title. They have been to three European cup Champions League finals in which they lost three. Their first final was when they faced Bayern Munich in 1974.
After that year, it took them 40 years to reach another UCL final, and they played the game against the Real Madrid team in 2014, which was a sad day for them as they lost it again to Real Madrid. They led until the dying seconds when Sergio Ramos equalized with a header. In the extra time, Real Madrid won 4-1, and Atletico was the loser.
They participated last year and ended in the round of 16 when they faced Chelsea home and away. The first leg of the game was played at Atletico Madrid’s home ground on the 23rd of February 2021. Chelsea secured the game with a 0-1 victory.
Also, the second leg was played at Chelsea’s home ground, which was challenging, but the Chelsea team dominated the game and scored two goals, but the Atletico team could not record a goal.
However, this team is currently number four in their UCL Group B standing for the 2022/2023 campaign. After playing three group-stage matches, they earned just three points, which was risky. They will have to win at least two of the remaining three matches to complete their group-stage fixtures to advance to the next stage.
