Club football returned this past weekend after a two-week international break that began at the end of September. Matchweek 2 of the Champions League kicks off on Tuesday afternoon, more than a month after each club’s opening fixture in the competition.
One of the afternoon’s most compelling matchups sees Manchester United travel to the Spanish capital to take on Atlético Madrid.
These teams last met competitively in the 2022 Champions League Round of 16, when Atlético eliminated the Red Devils 2-1 on aggregate. United returned to the competition in 2023 but has been absent since, playing their first UCL game in three years back in September.
They will look to carry the goal-scoring form from that Matchday 1 win into Tuesday, though their poor domestic form in the Premier League makes that a difficult ask.
United have won just once in the Premier League this season and arrive in Spain fresh off a 1-1 draw against a 10-man Tottenham side. Since their 4-0 win over Sabah on September 13, they have lost or drawn four straight, heading into one of the most difficult away fixtures in European football.
Atlético have lost just eight of 63 home matches in the Champions League under Diego Simeone and have started the season 3-1-0 at the Metropolitano, most recently defeating city rivals Real Madrid.
Atlético have been far more consistent domestically, sitting second in La Liga with six wins from eight games. Despite internal tensions surrounding superstar ST Julián Álvarez, Simeone has gotten the best out of his new signings, and the Spanish club will have genuine ambitions of challenging for the UCL title after reaching the semifinals last season.
While United have the quality to nick a result in Spain, they are simply not playing at the level we saw under Michael Carrick last season. Atlético’s home record makes them a formidable opponent for anyone — especially this United side on Tuesday afternoon.
