Atletico Madrid and Lille are locked on level points as the Champions League group stage approaches its midway mark. Watch the game live and for free on Fubo on Wednesday.
There’s nothing to separate Atletico Madrid and Lille in the Champions League standings ahead of their clash on Wednesday, with each team having taken one win apiece thus far in the competition’s group stage. The mid-week host got its tournament up and rolling with a dramatic last-minute win over German side RB Leipzig before falling to Benfica in one-sided fashion at the start of last month. Lille slumped to defeat at Sporting CP only to upset reigning champion Real Madrid a fortnight later, and the French upstarts will look to repeat the feat against the Spanish capital’s other kingpin mid-week.

Beating Real at home was mightily impressive in its own right, but nabbing another win at the famed fortress that is the Riyadh Air Metropolitano would arguably be an even bigger accomplishment.
Atletico has yet to lose on home soil this season and hasn’t tasted home defeat in the Champions League since November 2021, going 11 straight outings unbeaten in front of its own fans following that disappointment.
Diego Simeone’s side was handed a scare when Leganes came to the Metropolitano on Sunday, only for Atleti to come up with three goals in the final 20 minutes to reverse the result.
Summer signing Alexander Sorloth scored two of those goals and has quietly impressed of late after recording two goals and an assist for Norway in the latest international break.
He’ll be looking to pounce against Lille, who will be without injured defenders Samuel Umtiti, Ismaily and Tiago Santos for the trip to Madrid.
Simeone is missing some valuable men of his own in defense with Robin Le Normand and Cesar Azpilicueta out of action, while Mr. Versatile Marcos Llorente is also sidelined at present.
