This video can not be played Unfortunate Llorente own goal holds Atletico to draw with Galatasaray An own goal from Atletico Madrid's Marcos Llorente earned Galatasaray a draw as both sides moved closer to advancing in the Champions League. Despite playing in an intimidating atmosphere where Atletico players were booed every time they touched the ball, the visitors took a fourth-minute lead. After former Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez misjudged an attempted clearance, Matteo Ruggeri was able to cross from the left and Giuliano Simeone, the son of boss Diego, headed into the net from six yards out. But Atletico's advantage only lasted 16 minutes. Roland Sallai fired a low ball into the penalty area from the right and Marcos Llorente, facing his own goal but not under pressure from a Galatasaray player, slid the ball into his own net for an equaliser. Atletico created chances as they pushed for a winner but substitute Antoine Griezmann had a free-kick pushed away by home goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir late on. The result leaves Atletico on 13 points from their seven games and they could qualify for the last 16 if they win at home next Wednesday against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, who beat Manchester City 3-1 on Tuesday. Galatasaray are on 10 points and need to win at Etihad Stadium against City in their final league phase match to guarantee a place in the two-legged play-offs, although a draw may still be enough depending on other results.

Atlético Madrid are the team that Galatasaray have faced the most times in European competition without ever winning (6). Across their six winless meetings, the Turkish side have only scored two goals. Atlético Madrid have won each of their last four away games against Turkish sides in European competition, with the most recent one being a 2-0 win at Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League in September 2015. Galatasaray won three of their opening four games in the UEFA Champions League this term (L1), but have lost the last two without scoring a goal. They last suffered three consecutive defeats in the competition in October-November 2019 (also failed to score in any of those). Atlético Madrid have won 10 of their last 13 UEFA Champions League matches (L3), although all three defeats in this run came within their last four away trips (W1). 38% of Galatasaray’s goals in the UEFA Champions League this season have been scored via penalties (3/8); the highest percentage for any team. All three they’ve had have been taken and converted by Victor Osimhen. Although they only rank 14th for total line-breaking passes (352), Atlético de Madrid have made the most passes breaking the opposition’s defensive line of any team in the UEFA Champions League this season (49). Julián Alvarez has scored 11 goals in 15 appearances for Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. If he finds the net in this match, he’ll already become their second-top scorer in the competition, overtaking Saúl Ñíguez (11 in 74 games) and trailing only Antoine Griezmann (39 goals in 89 games, prior to this match). Galatasaray’s Lucas Torreira has recovered possession and initiated 83 sequences of play in the UEFA Champions League this season (from open play); more than any other player in the current edition. Atlético Madrid’s Jan Oblak could make his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance (currently on 99), which would make him just the seventh goalkeeper to reach a century of games in European Cup/Champions League history (after Iker Casillas, Manuel Neuer, Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech, Víctor Valdés and Oliver Kahn).
