Atl. Madrid - Benfica

Diego Simeone's men opened their European season with a 2-0 victory over Galatasaray as Antoine Griezmann notched a brace to fire the club to victory. Atletico put in a solid display at the Turk Telekom Arena to prove that their favourite's status to win the group was justified as they shut out the Turkish side with a resilient performance at the back. Simeone has plenty of firepower at his disposal, including Argentine forward Angel Correa, which they will need against the Portuguese champions to continue their winning start to their European campaign. The two sides will meet for the first time at the Vicente Calderon in a competitive fixture. Atletico have played Portuguese opposition six times, all of which have been against Porto. They have won twice, drawn twice and lost twice in their clashes against the Azuis e broncos. Benfica have failed to beat Spanish opposition in their 15 meetings, losing eight games and drawing seven.
