Tottenham have won just three of their 16 meetings with Spanish sides in all European competition (D5 L8). The first of those was against Atlético Madrid, beating them 5-1 in the 1963 UEFA Cup Winners Cup final.

Having lost just one of their first six UEFA Champions League away games against English sides (W2 D3), Atlético Madrid have now lost five of their last six visits to England (W1). However, all three of their away wins against Premier League teams in the competition have come in the knockout stages (3-1 v Chelsea in 2013-14, 3-2 v Liverpool in 2019-20 and 1-0 v Man Utd in 2021-22).

Before this season’s round of 16, there have been 51 occasions of a team losing the first leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie by 3+ goals. Only four of those have progressed to the next round, most recently Liverpool against Barcelona in the 2018-19 semi-final (0-3 away, 4-0 home).

Tottenham have won all four of their UEFA Champions League home games this season by an aggregate score of 10-0. Only three times has a side won their first five without conceding in a single campaign - Deportivo de La Coruña in 2003-04, and Real Madrid in both 2010-11 and 2015-16.

Atlético Madrid have scored 29 goals in their 11 UEFA Champions League games this season, their most in a single campaign in the competition. They went 3-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes against Spurs in the first leg, the earliest a team had ever netted 3+ goals in a Champions League knockout stage match.

Between 2008-09 and 2021-22, Atlético Madrid kept 47 clean sheets in 103 UEFA Champions League games, the best ratio of any side to play in more than one campaign (46%). Since the start of 2022-23, they’ve kept just five clean sheets in 37 games in the competition, the lowest ratio of any side to play 30+ games (14%).

Julián Alvarez has been involved in 10 UEFA Champions League goals this season (7 goals, 3 assists), the most ever by an Atlético Madrid player in a single campaign. The Argentinian scored twice and assisted another in the first leg against Spurs.

Despite only starting once, Dominic Solanke has scored in all three of his UEFA Champions League games for Tottenham Hotspur. The only player to score in his first four for a Premier League side is Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal, while the only Englishman to score in his first four for a club is Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid.

Antoine Griezmann scored (1) and assisted (1) for Atlético Madrid in their victory over Tottenham last week, while he was the second-oldest player to do so in a knockout stage game in the UEFA Champions League (34y 354d), after Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema in February 2023 versus Liverpool (35y 64d).

If Archie Gray remains in the starting XI for this game, he will have the most UEFA Champions League starts for Tottenham while aged under 21 (currently level on six with Dele Alli) – despite only just turning 20 last week.
