Know the Kick-Off Time, TV Channel, and How To Watch the Champions League Clash – Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Live.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will clash in a decisive Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash at the Metropolitano on Wednesday. Los Blancos have a narrow 2-1 lead going into this match after Brahim Diaz scored a late winner at the Bernabeu last week.

Historically, whenever these two teams have clashed in the Champions League, Real Madrid have dominated. They’ve won the 2014 and 2016 finals along with the 2017 semi-finals. However, Atletico have been formidable at home.

They’ve lost only one of their last seven clashes against Real Madrid at the Metropolitano. Atleti managed to overturn first-leg deficits in three previous Champions League knockout ties. This includes their last season comeback win over Inter Milan. 

Their incredible home record in the tournament remains intact. They are now unbeaten in 18 knockout-stage matches since 1997. However, their preparation for this leg took a hit when they dramatically lost 2-1 to Getafe this weekend.

Who are Real Madrid playing today?

Carlo Ancelotti’s side must navigate a tricky trip at Metropolitano. It’s a ground where Los Blancos have struggled in recent years. They may have won only three out of their last 17 away games against Atleti, their Champions League pedigree cannot be doubted.

They have a five-match knockout stage winning streak and another streak of 10 games in Europe. Considering past records, Los Blancos are favorites to progress. They have progressed to the next stage of the competition 21 times out of their last 22 when they won the first leg. 

The only exception came in 2019 against Ajax. Going into this match, they managed a shaky 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano this recent weekend. With confidence from this win, Los Blancos will be looking to seal their quarter-final spot with a disciplined and determined display.
