Atletico Madrid vs Aston Villa History

When it comes to their historical record in Europe’s premier tournament, the Colchoneros are perhaps among the most unlucky teams ever to compete. Atletico Madrid have reached multiple finals, only to taste defeat consistently, and usually in the most unfortunate of circumstances. In 1974 they lost their European Cup Final to Bayern Munich, this coming in a 4-0 replay loss after they were seconds away from clinching a win in the first encounter. In 2014 they looked set to defeat city rivals Real Madrid in Lisbon, but a late leveler took the game to extra time, with their opponents completing a 4-1 thumping. Then, in 2016, they played Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final again, this time losing on penalties.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, have won a top European crown, doing so in their first season in the competition. That came in 1981/82 when Tony Barton’s side completed a surprise win over Bayern Munich in Rotterdam. The English team then played in the tournament the following year before missing out on top-table action for forty years, a run that ended when Unai Emery’s side clinched a top-four Premier League finish in 2023/24.

Atletico Madrid vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head

These two teams have met before, meeting in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup Quarter-Finals. A goal from Christian Vieri gave Atletico Madrid a narrow 1-0 home win before Aston Villa won the second leg 2-1, only to then be knocked out on the away goals rule.

Atletico Madrid vs Aston Villa Mutual Connections

Only a chosen few have played for both teams, one example being much-traveled Spanish striker Borja Baston. He spent years at Atletico Madrid, coming through the youth ranks of his hometown club, but only managed one first-team appearance before he was sold to Swansea City in 2016. In 2019 he ended up at Villa Park, where he made just two appearances before being sold to Spanish side Leganes.
