Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen History

Atletico Madrid are possibly the unluckiest team in the history of UEFA’s premier club competition. The Spanish giants reached the 1973/74 European Cup Final and were seconds away from defeating Bayern Munich, only to concede in the final minute of extra-time, forcing a replay, which they duly lost 4-0.

In the 2014 Champions League Final, Los Colchoneros once again suffered a heartbreaking defeat on the grandest stage. Atletico were within touching distance of the famous trophy when Sergio Ramos scored a last-gasp equaliser for Real Madrid to force the game into extra-time, where Los Blancos then thumped their city rivals 4-1. Then, just two years later, versus Real Madrid once again, they fell to yet another Champions League Final defeat, this time via penalties.

Bayer Leverkusen also know a thing or two about losing out on Europe's most prestigious title. The Bundesliga were beaten in the 2002 Champions League Final, also against Real Madrid. Klaus Toppmoller’s side beat both Liverpool and Manchester United but ultimately found Real Madrid an immovable object, with Zinedine Zidane scoring a wonderful volleyed winner in Glasgow.

In 2016/17, the two teams once again met in the Round of 16, with Atletico emerging triumphant thanks to a fine 4-2 away win at the BayArena with Fernando Torres, Antoine Griezmann, and Kevin Gameiro all on the scoresheet.
