Strong stats ahead of Atlético vs Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League

Liverpool host Atlético at Anfield in the first round of the UEFA Champions League for the second consecutive season, in a match that carries many memories between the two teams.

UEFA has highlighted the key statistics from the match, where Liverpool have won their last three encounters against Atlético, the latest being a 3-2 victory in September 2025 with a last-gasp goal from Virgil van Dijk in the 92nd minute.

Atlético have previously triumphed in their last two encounters, eliminating Liverpool from the Round of 16 in the 2019/2020 season with a 1-0 win at home and a 3-2 victory after extra time away.

Liverpool have an impressive record against Spanish clubs, having won their last six matches against them in the group stage or league phase. They have also lost only three times in their last 15 matches at Anfield against Spanish teams.

In contrast, Atlético have only achieved two victories in their last 14 matches against English clubs, alongside 3 draws and 9 defeats, and they have not won any match against an English team in the group stage or knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League.

Liverpool are set to make their 18th appearance in the UEFA Champions League, while Atlético will participate for the 17th time and the 14th consecutively. Liverpool have achieved 18 victories in their last 21 league matches, and they have won 17 of their last 18 European matches at Anfield.

Atlético have kept a clean sheet only once in their last 16 matches in the UEFA Champions League, but they have scored in 22 of their last 24 matches in the league or group stage.

Koke needs just one more match to reach 150 appearances in UEFA club competitions.
