Atletico ‘still alive’ in battle against Real and history
Khaleej Times
|March 12, 2025
Atletico Madrid stare down both bitter city rivals Real Madrid and the weight of history as they aim to reach the Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday.
-
Los Blancos are the record 15-time champions, the current holders, and lead 2-1 Atletico in the last 16 tie as well as seemingly holding a decades-long jinx on Atletico.
The teams have been paired on five occasions in the history of the competition and Real Madrid have emerged triumphant every time.
"History exists, and Madrid's history in the Champions League is extraordinary," admitted Atletico coach Diego Simeone before the first leg, with his side still waiting for a first European Cup.
Most painful for Atletico were the 2014 and 2016 final defeats in Lisbon and Milan respectively.
Simeone's side led in stoppage time in the former, but Sergio Ramos's 93rd minute header forced extra-time, with Madrid running out 4-1 winners.
