Lazio-Atletico Madrid x-ray: historical data, trends and curiosities

• This will be the first ever meeting between Lazio and Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. The last time they met was in the round of 32 of the 2011/12 Europa League, with the Spanish team winning 3-1 in Rome and 1-0 at home.
• Atlético Madrid have lost three of their last five Champions League matches against Italian teams (W1, D1), after remaining unbeaten in their first seven matches against these opponents (W5, D2). On the other hand, Lazio have won only one of their six matches against Spanish opponents in the tournament (D2, L3).
• After being eliminated in the group stage in three consecutive editions of the Champions League (2001-02, 2003-04 and 2007-08), Lazio remained unbeaten at this stage of the tournament in their last participation in 2020-21, qualifying for the round of 16 (2W, 4N).
• Lazio have always conceded goals in their last 19 Champions League matches, following the 2-0 win at Besiktas in September 2003. This is the longest streak without a clean sheet among Italian teams in the competition, equal to that of Rome (19 between 2010 and 2015).
• Atlético Madrid did not get past the group stage in last season’s Champions League and have never been eliminated from the group stage in two consecutive editions of the tournament.

• This will be Diego Simeone’s 11th season in the Champions League as Atlético Madrid manager (every season since 2013-14). Simeone has 95 matches at the helm of the club in the Champions League, among coaches only Alex Ferguson (190 with Man Utd) and Arsène Wenger (177 with Arsenal) have more with a single team in the tournament.
