This will be Atalanta’s 14 match against German opposition across major European competition, losing just three of those matches overall (W7 D3) and winning four of their last five since the start of 2024 (L1).

Bayern Munich and Atalanta have never faced before in European competition. The Germans lost their last knockout stage tie against Italian opposition in the UEFA Champions League (3-4 on aggregate v Internazionale in last season’s quarter-final), after having progressed from each of their previous four knockout ties against Serie A sides in the competition.

Atalanta haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their nine knockout stage games in the UEFA Champions League (18 goals conceded, an average of 2 per game), while Bayern Munich have the highest goals per game ratio (1.9) of any team in the knockout stages of the competition (min. 5 KO games).

Bayern Munich have only lost one of their last 12 games in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League (W10 D1), although that lone defeat did come away to an Italian opponent (0-1 v Lazio in February 2024).

Atalanta have lost six of their last seven games in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League (W1), although they did win their most recent one to progress to the round of 16 (4-1 at home to Borussia Dortmund), equalling their biggest margin of victory in the knockout stages (also 4-1 v Valencia in February 2020).

Bayern Munich have won seven of their eight games in the UEFA Champions League this season (L1), with the only one they failed to win coming away to the league phase leaders Arsenal (1-3 in November).

Since the Belgian joined the club, Atalanta have averaged 1.57 goals from open play per game in the UEFA Champions League when Charles De Ketelaere has started (22 in 14 games), compared to just 0.67 per game when he hasn’t been in the starting XI (4 in 6 games).

Harry Kane has been directly involved in 33 goals in 33 UEFA Champions League games for Bayern Munich (27 goals, 6 assists), more than any other player in the competition since the start of the 2023-24 season.

Of players with 500+ minutes played across the last two editions of the UEFA Champions League (2024-25 and 2025-26), Atalanta’s Lazar Samardzic ranks fifth for carries ending in a shot or chance created per 90 (2.71), only behind Ousmane Dembélé (3.2), Vinícius Júnior (2.96), Désiré Doué (2.96) and Lamine Yamal (2.73).

Bayern Munich are the only team with two midfielders with 100+ line-breaking passes in the UEFA Champions League this season, in the form of Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic (102 each).
