On Tuesday, UEFA Champions League matches return to television screens.
One of the most interesting matches will take place at 22:00 in Turin, where the local team Juventus meets a well-known opponent - Madrid's Atletico. The Italian team can secure the first position in the group standings with a victory or a draw.
For Atletico, a victory is necessary to avoid problems in the final group matches, after unexpectedly losing to Leverkusen Bayer in the previous round.
Here are the most interesting facts about this clash:
The first encounter between these teams this season ended in a 2-2 draw. Juventus took the lead in the Spanish capital with a two-goal advantage, but Atletico came back and secured an important point.
Atletico's visits to Turin usually do not leave good memories - last season the visitors from Madrid were crushed (0-3) in Juventus' home leg match.
Juventus and Atletico have faced each other five times in the Champions League. Diego Simeone's proteges have won twice, drawn twice, and suffered one defeat.
Atletico team is one of the favorite opponents of Juventus leader Cristiano Ronaldo - he has scored 25 goals against Atletico in 33 matches, including games representing Real Madrid.
In the first meeting of this season, C. Ronaldo did not score, but last season he became the main tormentor of the Atletico team - his hat-trick against Jan Oblak's goal led to Atletico's elimination from the tournament.
So far this season, Juventus is unbeatable at home - with eight wins out of eight. Three of the last four victories ended with a score of 2-1.
Alvaro Morata returns to the stadium where he spent two years of his career. From 2014 to 2016, the striker, who now plays for Atletico, scored 27 goals in 93 matches for Juventus.
