This will be just the fourth meeting between Atlético Madrid and Internazionale in all competitions – the Spaniards won 2-0 in the 2010 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco before the pair traded home wins in the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League round of 16 (Atlético Madrid progressed on penalties).

Internazionale have failed to win on any of their last 12 European away trips to face a Spanish opponent (D4 L8), since a 5-1 win at Valencia in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League group stage. Their last saw them draw 3-3 with Barcelona in last season’s semi-final first leg.
