Match background Atlético • The 2014 beaten finalists began their sixth group stage campaign with a 2-0 victory away to Galatasaray AŞ • Atlético Madrid are taking part in the competition for the third year in a row – the first time they have achieved that feat. • They put together four successive home victories in last season's tournament, winning their three group games in Madrid with a 10-0 aggregate score. They overcame Bayer 04 Leverkusen 1-0 at home in the round of 16 to draw the tie 1-1 on aggregate, winning the ensuing penalty shoot-out 3-2. • The Rojiblancos then drew 0-0 at home to city rivals Real Madrid CF in the quarter-finals before bowing out 1-0 on aggregate. • They have won 21 of their last 24 European matches at the Vicente Calderón. The only defeat was a 2-0 reverse to FC Rubin Kazan in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 in February 2013. • Atlético had success the last time they met opponents from Portugal, defeating FC Porto home (2-0) and away (2-1) in the 2013/14 group stage. Atlético's overall home record against Portuguese opposition is W5 D2 L1. Benfica • Competing in their 11th UEFA Champions League group stage, Benfica began with a 2-0 home victory over newcomers FC Astana. • The Portuguese champions lost two of their away games in last term's group stage and drew the other 0-0. They finished fourth in Group C with five points. • Those two defeats are the only reverses in Benfica's last eight European away fixtures. • In only one of their last seven UEFA Champions League campaigns (2011/12) have the Eagles qualified for the knockout rounds. That year Chelsea FC beat them 3-1 overall in the quarter-finals. • Benfica's last assignment with Spanish opponents came in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League final when they drew 0-0 with Sevilla FC in Turin, losing 4-2 on penalties. • It was the 23rd time they had faced Spanish sides in Europe with the record W5 D8 L10.
