20 Oct
Summary
- Arsenal and Atlético Madrid's previous European meetings ended in Atlético's favor
- Atlético Madrid have struggled to win away games against English teams in Champions League
- Arsenal are on a six-game winning streak against Spanish teams in European competitions
On October 21st, 2025, Arsenal and Atlético Madrid will face off in a highly anticipated Champions League match. The two sides have met previously in the 2017-18 Europa League semi-finals, where Atlético emerged victorious, eliminating the Gunners 2-1 on aggregate.
Atlético Madrid have struggled to find success on English soil in the Champions League, failing to win any of their five away games against English teams in the group/league phase (drawing two and losing three). This includes a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in London back in 2009.
In contrast, Arsenal have been dominant against Spanish opposition in recent years, winning their last six matches against teams from Spain. This impressive run includes victories over Real Madrid, Sevilla, Girona, and Athletic Club. The Gunners will be aiming to extend this winning streak and avenge their previous defeat to Atlético.
Atlético Madrid have only managed one win in their last nine European matches against English clubs, with that lone victory coming against Manchester United in the 2022 Champions League last-16 tie. The Spanish side will be determined to improve this record and secure a positive result in London.
As the two teams prepare to lock horns, the stage is set for an intriguing Champions League clash, with Arsenal seeking revenge and Atlético Madrid looking to overcome their struggles against English opposition.
