The Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich history stretches from the 1974 European Cup final to Atlético’s 2016 semi-final success and their 2020 Champions League meetings. Bayern have the stronger overall record, but Atlético have proved difficult to beat at home. The results below show how the clubs’ European rivalry has developed.

Bayern Munich lead the Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich head-to-head record with four wins from eight European Cup and Champions League meetings. Atlético have won twice and the clubs have drawn twice, according to UEFA’s record before their November 2026 match.

The eight-match total includes the original 1974 European Cup final and its replay. Some third-party head-to-head tables start in 2016 and show only six matches; that narrower period should not be confused with the complete European record.

The previous Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich results include two matches in the 1974 final, four meetings across 2016 and two league-stage games in 2020. The table lists all eight competitive European meetings before 3 November 2026.

Atlético Madrid eliminated Bayern Munich in the 2016 Champions League semi-final on away goals after a 2–2 aggregate draw. Saúl Ñíguez gave Atlético a 1–0 first-leg win in Madrid. Bayern won the return 2–1 in Munich, but Antoine Griezmann’s away goal sent Diego Simeone’s side through to the final.

Atlético entered the fixture after beating Levante 2–0 domestically and drawing 1–1 at Stuttgart in Europe. Bayern had drawn 2–2 with Borussia Dortmund and previously shared the points with Arsenal in the Champions League. Those results provide context for this edition but do not change the clubs’ long-term head-to-head history.

Team news for the November 2026 fixture includes several Bayern absences, with Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz and Serge Gnabry unavailable in pre-match reporting. Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany was also absent through illness, with assistant Aaron Danks preparing the team.
