Atletico Madrid could miss out for the first time since 2017

The last group stages of the UEFA Champions League will see Porto hosting Atletico Madrid in Group B on Tuesday night in a clash that will determine the fate of both teams. Porto sit second in the group table with just five points so far. A win on Tuesday would guarantee them a spot in the knockout stages.

Atletico Madrid have not fared much better than their hosts. After drawing 0-0 against Porto in their first game and beating AC Milan 2-1 in their second, the visitors have gone on a three-game losing streak.

The La Liga club sit rock-bottom in the group with four points from five games. They will put themselves in a strong position to qualify should they beat Porto.

There have been seven meetings between Porto and Atletico Madrid in the past. Both teams have won two games apiece while the other three games have all ended in draws. Atletico Madrid are in danger of exiting the Champions League in the group stage for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
