Barcelona and Atlético Madrid will meet for a fifth time in European competition, with all five coming at the quarter-final stage of the UEFA Champions League (2013-14 and 2015-16 previously).

Atlético Madrid have only lost one of their previous four UEFA Champions League games against Barcelona (W2 D1), and have eliminated the Catalan side in both of their previous knockout stage ties (2-1 on aggregate in 2013-14 and 3-2 in 2015-16). Only Paris SG (3) have eliminated Barcelona more times in the knockout stages of the European Cup/Champions League.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 25 games against Atlético Madrid at the Camp Nou across all competitions (W17 D8), with their last defeat coming in February 2006, when Atlético were managed by Pepe Murcia (1-3 defeat in LaLiga).

Atlético Madrid have never won a UEFA Champions League away match against a fellow Spanish opponent, losing four of the five they have played (D1). Diego Simeone’s side are also winless in their last six away games in the knockout stages of the competition (D1 L5), with their last victory coming at Old Trafford against Manchester United in March 2022 (1-0).

Barcelona have scored more UEFA Champions League goals (73) than any other team since Hansi Flick took charge of them. However, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 games, which is already their longest ever run without one in major European competition.

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has the best win percentage by any manager with 10+ games in the UEFA Champions League (73.8% - 31/42), as well as the best win percentage in knockout stage matches (min. 10 games) in the competition (70.6% - 12/17).

Raphinha has been directly involved in 33 goals in 33 UEFA Champions League appearances for Barcelona (19 goals, 14 assists), while he leads all players for goal involvements in knockout stage matches since the start of the 2023-24 season (17 - 10 goals, 7 assists).

Julián Alvarez has scored more goals (8), made more assists (4) and created more chances (29) than any other Atlético Madrid player in the UEFA Champions League this season, while also applying more high-intensity pressures than any other player (all teams) in the 2025-26 edition (702).

Lamine Yamal has five goals and four assists in eight UEFA Champions League appearances this season. Should he score or assist in this game, he will become the youngest player to record 10+ goal involvements in a single edition (18y 269d), with the current youngest being Erling Haaland (19y 212d – 10 goals, one assist in 2019-2020).

Pablo Barrios has made more line-breaking passes in the final third than any other Atlético Madrid player in the UEFA Champions League this season (42). As a team, Atlético have averaged 32.6 per game in this edition when Barrios has been in the starting XI (8 games), compared to just 22.5 when he hasn’t started (4 games).
