For Celtic, the current Champions League campaign is still a bit tough. This time, White-Green got a ticket to the tournament's group stage directly, becoming the 53rd-time Scottish champion at the end of last season. Still, the rivalry with more status and experienced teams brings more disappointment than joy. In the first round, the team from Glasgow lost away to Feyenoord - 0:2, although the score could have been much bigger, as the Dutch failed to score a penalty, and two more goals were canceled due to rules violations. Next, the Scots hosted Lazio and even opened the scoring, but allowed the Italians to come back, and in the 95th minute, they lost the game - 1:2, dropping to the last place in the quartet E.

Atletico also did not make the best debut in the current Champions League. The Spaniards traveled to Rome, where Pablo Barrios' goal almost brought them victory. Still, in the 95th minute, Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel equalized the score - 1:1. It seemed that this failure could break their opponents, but it only cheered them up. In the next six matches, they did not lose a single point. During this time, they managed to win five times in the championship, including a 3:1 victory over Real Madrid in the Madrid derby and another victory they snatched in the second round of the Champions League from Feyenoord - 3:2. So far, Diego Simeone's men have four points to lead the Group E standings.

Atletico goes to Glasgow, being in great shape. Madrid have won their last six games in a row in all competitions. They are clearly on fire, and they are not even embarrassed by the numerous goals conceded, which a few years ago would have been a disaster for them, but now they are scoring more and getting a positive result. Celtic are also playing at the national championship level, but when the Green and White step onto the international stage, they immediately run into difficulties, so they still have zero points after two rounds of the Champions League group stage.

We have already noted that Atletico has not been showing perfect defense lately, leaving their goals dry only twice in the last eight meetings, but in most cases, the attack covers all the mistakes in defense. Twenty-two shots on goal (3.67 average per game) have been scored in the last six matches, even more so for Madrid. In all six cases, they have scored at least twice.
