The UEFA Champions League returns with an interesting set of fixtures this week as Atletico Madrid take on Bayern Munich at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Tuesday. Bayern Munich have been excellent in the Champions League so far and hold the upper hand in this game.

Atletico Madrid have been in near-flawless form in La Liga this season and have registered five consecutive victories in the league. Los Colchoneros have been well below their best in Europe, however, and need to step up to the plate this week.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have won all their four matches so far in the UEFA Champions League and will be intent on maintaining their unbeaten streak on Tuesday. The Bavarian giants have one of the best squads in Europe and have a point to prove this season.


Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head

Bayern Munich have a good record against Atletico Madrid in official European fixtures and have won three games out of a total of five matches played between the two sides. Atletico Madrid have won two matches and will need to take it up a notch this Tuesday.

The reverse fixture last month resulted in an emphatic 4-0 victory for Bayern Munich. Atletico Madrid were uncharacteristically sloppy on the day and cannot afford to slip up in this game.
