Atletico – Bayern team news and expert analysis
The Madrid club finished fourth in La Liga last season, losing the cup final to Real Sociedad. This campaign has brought both slip-ups and, on the other hand, a derby win over Real Madrid – they are trying to move into second place, while trailing the incredible Barcelona by a significant margin. The Munich giants won all the “domestic” titles in Germany in 2025/2026, and began the new season in the summer with a Super Cup victory over Borussia Dortmund in Dortmund. They are also competing confidently with Dortmund for the Bundesliga lead.
The Spaniards began their European campaign in Liverpool. However, after taking the lead, they meekly lost to the Reds. They bounced back by comfortably beating another English side, Manchester United, 2-0 at home. In the third round, they exchanged goals with Stuttgart away from home, finishing 1-1.
The Germans opened the tournament with a resounding 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt. But against another Norwegian side, debutants Viking, they could only manage a 3-3 draw after Olise was sent off. They also shared the points with Arsenal, conceding late on.
