🤯 Atlético's crazy streak goes on: why Arsenal couldn't win Arsenal felt yesterday just what kind of fortress Atlético Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano is. The Gunners performed well for long stretches, though. An away win might even have been possible without VAR, but then again, not really.
Because a look at the Rojiblancos’ home record in the Champions League knockout stage suggests that it almost takes a miracle to leave Atlético’s living room with a win in regular time. Under coach Diego Simeone alone, Los Colchoneros have now gone 18 home matches in the CL knockout stage without defeat (11 wins, seven draws). But this crazy run actually goes back much further.
According to the statistics portal 'Squawka', Atlético’s last home defeat dates back to 1997. A 3-2 loss to Ajax Amsterdam. Since then, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and most recently FC Barcelona have all failed to break them down.
