After two consecutive draws against Stavanger (3–3) and Arsenal (2–2), FC Bayern is under increasing pressure in the Champions League. The last time the Munich team had three straight draws in the Champions League was between October and December 2006.

With five points, the German record champions currently sit in 14th place in the group stage standings. To stay in contention for a spot in the top 8—and thus direct qualification for the Round of 16—Vincent Kompany’s team urgently needs to pick up three points again.

Tough Conditions for Bayern

FC Bayern must tackle the difficult Champions League match against Atlético Madrid under challenging conditions. In addition to head coach Vincent Kompany, who remains sidelined due to meningitis, several key players are also out with injuries. As in previous matches, assistant coach Aaron Danks will lead the team from the sidelines.

The personnel setbacks following the 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund are particularly bitter for the Munich side. Ismael Saibari suffered a torn syndesmotic ligament and has already undergone surgery. The midfielder is not expected to return to the field until next year. Serge Gnabry is also unavailable for the time being. The attacking player has once again suffered an injury to his hamstring.

There is also a question mark regarding Michael Olise’s availability. The French international also finished the match against Dortmund carrying an injury. Whether he will be fit in time for the away game in Madrid remains to be seen. This means Bayern faces further personnel shortages, of all times, right before their crucial Champions League clash.

At least their recent record against Atlético Madrid offers some hope: FCB has remained unbeaten in its last three matches against the Spanish side. In the 2020–21 Champions League group stage, Bayern celebrated a convincing 4–0 home victory before settling for a 1–1 draw in Madrid.

In total, the two clubs have faced each other eight times so far. Munich won four of those matches, while Atlético came out on top twice. Two encounters ended in a draw. However, Bayern has never managed to secure a victory in the Spanish capital. On Tuesday evening, they hope to finally change that on their fourth attempt.
