Arsenal’s 6-game winning streak against Spanish teams began with their 2-game winning streak against Sevilla in the 2023 Champions League group stage. Last season, the team defeated Girona 2-1 in the last round of the UEFA Champions League stage, and beat Real Madrid 3-0 and 2-1 in the quarter-finals. They defeated Biba 2-0 in the first round of the UEFA Champions League stage this season.
According to Arsenal's official statistics, Arsenal is the first team in the Champions League to achieve 6 consecutive victories against a Spanish team. It is also the longest winning streak against a single league team in the Champions League in team history. Arsenal's longest winning streak against a single league team in the European War is 8 consecutive victories against a Swiss team.
Before the six-game winning streak, Arsenal had only won 12 of 37 games against Spanish teams. If they can defeat Atletico Madrid, the Spanish team will also become Arsenal's league team with the most wins in Europe. The Gunners have previously won 18 times against French teams, Italian teams and Spanish teams.
Atletico Madrid is one of the 12 Spanish teams Arsenal has played against in Europe. This number is more than any other league team. In addition to the above-mentioned teams, Arsenal has also played against Valencia, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Deportivo, Mallorca, Celta, and Villarreal. The match against Atletico will be only the third time in history that a club has played four different Spanish teams in the same year, following Juventus in 2003 and Paris Saint-Germain last year.
