Galatasaray – Atletico. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On January 21, Rams Park will host a match of the 7th round of the main round of the UEFA Champions League, in which Galatasaray will meet Atletico. The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.

Galatasaray

The team under the current coach, Okan Buruk, has established itself as the flagship of modern Turkish football. Another confirmation of this status was the fact that they issued a golden double in the spring. And even now it is possible to keep Fenerbahce and other pursuers at a distance. However, at the same time they lost to the pursuer in the Super Cup of the country.

Instead, it turns out quite well in the Champions League. The Turk did not even confuse the start in the form of 1:5 in Frankfurt am Main – good thing, then managed to successively beat Liverpool, Bude/Glimt and Ajax. However, 2025 ended on a low note in this tournament, losing both to Union at home and Monaco away. If you don’t break this trend, you can lose your way to the playoffs.

Atletico

The club already missed the third place the season before last – then they finished behind the top-ranked Girona of Tsygankova and Dovbyk. This did not happen again in 2024/2025, but to achieve more, to seriously challenge Barcelona and Real did not work out then. And it doesn’t work now, and the new calendar year actually started with a loss to a neighbor in the Super Bowl. However, now the dispute is not with a couple of giants, but with Villarreal, for the third place – and in it the Madrid team is still catching up.

In the Champions League, Simeone’s men started by disappointingly missing a draw in Liverpool: they came from 0:2 down, but conceded at the end. Moreover, after defeating Eintracht, the Spaniards were defeated by Arsenal 0:4. And only then did the situation stabilize, and having won three more, the team de facto secured the right to play in the playoffs.

Statistics of personal meetings

There were a total of six matches in the European Cups. First, they ended in draws three times, then Simeone’s wards won as many times.
