MATCHDAY 3 | UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | STUTTGART-ATLÉTICO DE MADRID

Looking to continue the winning run

Our team will play their third Champions League fixture next Tuesday 20 October at 21:00 CEST against Stuttgart at the MHP Arena.

The magic of the Champions League returns this Tuesday 20 October with the third matchday of the competition, as our team travel to face Stuttgart at the MHP Arena from 21:00 CEST. Another European challenge awaits the Rojiblancos, who will be looking to maintain their excellent run of form and claim another three points on the road.

Simeone's side head into the fixture after beating Espanyol 0-1 this weekend, thanks to a superb goal from Álex Baena which secured another league victory. Stuttgart, meanwhile, go into the match after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Hamburg in their most recent Bundesliga fixture.

Our team are enjoying an excellent run of results, having won six consecutive matches across all competitions. They will look to extend that run in Germany after beating Manchester United 2-0 in their most recent Champions League fixture. Standing in their way will be a Stuttgart side who have made a perfect start to their European campaign, winning both of their matches against Viking (3-1) and Slovan Bratislava (0-3). Among their main threats is Ermedin Demirović, currently the competition's top scorer with four goals.

The fixture will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides, who have never previously faced each other in European competition. The only previous encounter between the Rojiblancos and the German side dates back to 2018, when the two teams played a friendly to mark the German club's 125th anniversary, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

The MHP Arena will provide the setting for a demanding fixture against a side who have made home advantage one of their greatest strengths. Stuttgart, who despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund a month ago, have won all of their other home fixtures, demonstrating their strength in front of their supporters. Another challenge awaits our team, who will be looking to maintain their positive momentum and continue their winning run.
