For the first time since 2017, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are set to clash in the Champions League.
Less than one month ago, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid settled for a 1–1 draw for the second time in the 2024–25 La Liga season. Only two points separate the rivals in the La Liga standings, but come Tuesday, they are playing for something much greater than just three points in the Spanish top-flight.
