The draw for the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/a> left more than interesting pairings for the league phase of the competition. In that sense, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong> will face three of the worst possible rivals to face.<\/p> And the ‘rojiblanco’ team will have to measure themselves against Inter Milan, Liverpool and Arsenal<\/strong> as their strongest opponents. Despite this, they will be able to compensate, in case of not winning against these opponents, against other lower-ranked opponents to aim for the top 8 places in the instance.<\/p> Nuestra fase liga de la Champions \ud83d\udcab pic.twitter.com\/N4mhQPidh6<\/a><\/p> \u2014 Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid (@Atleti) August 28, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div> As is already known, there are 4 matches as locals and 4 as visitors.

To not beat around the bush, the matches between both teams have left a balance of 2 wins for each and 2 draws.<\/p> The last match between the ‘colchoneros’ and Liverpool was in the group stage of the previous Champions League format. That match corresponded to matchday 4 and the Anfield Road team won with a score of 2-0.<\/strong><\/p> It is worth remembering that the ‘reds’ have 6 European championships in their showcases, while the ‘rojiblancos’ have not managed to win the Champions League. They have even lost the final of the competition up to three times (1973\/74, 2013\/14 and 2015\/16).<\/strong><\/p>
