Having put together a nine-game unbeaten run at the start of their 2024-25 campaign, Atletico saw that treak abruptly ended by Benfica earlier this month, when their second-half horror show resulted in an embarrassing 4-0 defeat.

After the break at Estadio da Luz, Angel Di Maria scored the hosts’s second goal after Conor Gallagher conceded a panalty, and Atletico’s misery was later completed when Reinildo committed a foul that led to another spot kick.

Stretching back to last season, Atletico have shipped at least one goal in each of their last six Champions League matches – at a troubling rate of two per game – which represents their worst such run for a decade.

If Atletico are to reach the knockout stage, surely home form will do much of the heavy lifting for all their woes – after a 2-1 victory over Leipzig on the opening matchday, they are unbeaten in 11 Champions League games at the Metropolitano.

After coming through qualifying through a couple of closely contested ties, Lille lost to Sporting Lisbon in their first league-phase game, but they responded in style by beating the 15-time champions on matchday two.

When Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga blocked a shot with his hand, right at the end of the first half the VAR intervened and a penalty was awarded, star striker Jonathan David coolly converted from the spot to give Les Dogues a precious lead to protect.

Having survived a barrage from Real throughout the second half, Lille wildly celebrated a famous win with their fans, and they have now won four of their last five group matches in the Champions League – as many as throughout the previous 29.

Lille have lost six of their last eight away matches in the Champions League, prevailing in just two of their last 10 across all UEFA competitions, so a trip to Madrid must be approached with a fair dose of caution.
