Aston Villa vs Atletico Madrid History

Aston Villa’s maiden European Cup adventure, which came in 1981/82 after the Midlands side had won their first league championship in seventy years, saw Tony Barton’s side clinch a memorable title. They did so by beating favourites Bayern Munich in Rotterdam, thanks to a goal from Peter Withe and an astounding performance from keeper Nigel Spink, who had come on early due to an injury suffered by first-choice goalie Jimmy Rimmer. They would then sit out the top-table tournament between 1983 and 2024, a run that ended when Unai Emery took his side into the UEFA Champions League after a top-four Premier League finish.

Atletico Madrid may well be the most unlucky side in the history of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. As of 2024, their three visits to the final of the competition have resulted in heartache. In 1974, they were on course to beat Bayern Munich, only to concede an extra-time goal which forced the game into a replay, which they lost 4-0. In 2014, they met Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final and were once again on course to triumph before an injury-time goal took the game into extra-time, where they were steamrolled 4-1. Two years later, once again against their city rivals, they were beaten after a penalty shootout at the San Siro.

Aston Villa vs Atletico Madrid Head-to-Head

These two teams met in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup campaign, with a Christian Vieri goal giving Atletico a narrow 1-0 home win in the first leg of the Quarter-Final. Aston Villa responded by winning the clash at Villa Park 2-1, thanks to goals from Ian Taylor and Stan Collymore, but the goal from Jose Caminero meant that the Spanish side would progress on the away goals rule.

Aston Villa vs Atletico Madrid Mutual Connections

Very few players have represented both teams, but one who has done so is keeper Andre Moreira. The Portuguese goalie spent five years at Atletico Madrid, albeit never playing a first-team match, and during his spell in the Spanish capital, he was loaned out to Aston Villa in the 2018/19 season, playing two League Cup fixtures.
