Atlético Madrid matches decade-old Champions League club record

Atlético Madrid are hosting Eintracht Frankfurt and lead 3-0 at halftime. In the first half, they managed to equal a club milestone.

Details: In the opening 45 minutes, Los Colchoneros registered seven shots on target against the German side. According to Opta, this matches a record they set ten years ago. The last time Atlético managed so many shots on target in a single half was in October 2015, against Astana.

Incidentally, representatives from Kazakhstan also gifted Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso a toy fish that speaks in Kylian Mbappé’s voice, saying, “1 2 3 Hala Madrid.”

Reminder: In the second round of the Champions League, London’s Chelsea will host Portuguese side Benfica. The London club has set a personal record in the competition.
