Head-to-head

The clubs have met four times in competitive matches, and Manchester United have never won. Atlético have two wins and there have been two draws.

• 1991 Cup Winners' Cup: Atlético won 3-0 in Madrid and drew 1-1 at Old Trafford.

• 2021/22 Champions League round of 16: 1-1 in Madrid, then Atlético won 1-0 at Old Trafford through Renan Lodi to go through 2-1 on aggregate.

What is at stake

Atlético cannot afford a second defeat. Each club plays only eight matches, the top eight go straight to the round of 16, and teams below 24th are out. United have three points and can move clear of the play-off places with a win. Our league phase explainer shows how the table works.
