2019/20 UEFA Champions League
Group stage, Matchday 3
22-23 October
Atletico Madrid will chase three vital points in Group D of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League when they host Bayer Leverkusen at Etsadio Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday 22 October, kick-off at 21:00. The match is one of 16 Matchday 3 fixtures in the group stage of the competition, spread across 22-23 October.
Atletico have enjoyed a solid start to their group stage campaign. They opened with a 2-2 draw at home to Juventus (in which they recovered from a two-goal deficit), before strikes from Joao Felix and Thomas Partey took them to a 2-0 win away to Lokomotiv Moscow earlier this month. The Rojiblancos are tied with Juve at the top of the pool on four points.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, have suffered back-to-back defeats: they were edged 2-1 at home by Lokomotiv last month, while their trip to Juve earlier in October ended in a 3-0 spanking at the hands of the Italian giants. A third straight loss would put at jeopardy their hopes of continuing in European football this season.
In head-to-head stats, Atletico and Leverkusen have met in six European club matches. The Spanish side has claimed two wins compared to one for the German club, while three games have been drawn.
The teams last met in the last 16 of the 2016/17 Champions League, with Atletico claiming a 4-2 aggregate triumph (4-2 win in Leverkusen and 0-0 draw in Madrid).
