Bayern Munich lost 2-1 at home to Internazionale in last season’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final – only once have they lost consecutive home games against Italian sides in the competition, doing so in October 2002/November 2004 against Milan and Juventus.
Atalanta have lost just two of their seven away games against German teams in all competitions (W3 D2), with both defeats coming at Borussia Dortmund (Feb 2018 and Feb 2026). This is their first ever visit to Bayern Munich.
Atalanta’s 6-1 defeat in the first leg was the biggest home loss by an Italian side in the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League. In all major European competition history, no team has ever progressed to the next round having lost the first leg of a knockout stage tie by 5+ goals.
Bayern Munich have won eight of their nine UEFA Champions League games this season, scoring 28 goals in the process (3.1 per game). The only exception was a 3-1 loss at Arsenal in November.
Atalanta have scored just four away goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, fewer than any other side in the last 16. Two of these were either scored or assisted by Ademola Lookman, who has since left to join Atlético Madrid.
Two of Bayern Munich’s goals in the first leg were scored following 10+ pass sequences in open play (Serge Gnabry’s first and Michael Olise’s second), with this the first time they’ve scored 2+ in a knockout stage game in the UEFA Champions League since August 2020 v Barcelona (2 in a quarter-final).
Among players with 15+ games at a specific venue in the UEFA Champions League, Harry Kane’s mins/goal ratio at the Allianz Arena (81) is the third-best in the competition’s history, only behind Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium (73) and Cristiano Ronaldo at the Estadio Bernabéu (80). Kane has netted 18 goals in 17 home games for Bayern Munich in the competition to date.
Mario Pasalic has been involved in more goals than any other Atalanta player in UEFA Champions League history (15 – 10 goals, 5 assists). His three goals this season are his joint-most in a single campaign, along with 2019-20 and 2024-25.
Bayern Munich are the only team in the UEFA Champions League this season with two midfielders averaging 10+ line-breaking passes per 90 (min. 500 minutes played), in the form of Aleksandar Pavlovic (13.9) and Joshua Kimmich (13.8). Indeed, Kimmich (20) and Pavlovic (13) both made the most line-breaking passes in the first leg of this tie between Bayern and Atalanta.
Luis Díaz completed eight dribbles in the first leg against Atalanta last week; the joint-most by a Bayern Munich player in a UEFA Champions League knockout stage game on record, along with Jamal Musiala in March 2023 (v Paris SG) and Douglas Costa in March 2016 (v Juventus).
