Qarabağ FK - Club Atlético de Madrid Wednesday 18 October 2017 - 18.00CET (20.00 local time)Match press kit Bakı Olimpiya Stadionu, Baku

Match backgroundQarabağ FK and Club Atlético de Madrid are both aiming to bounce back from matchday two defeats at home as theymeet for the first time at the Bakı Olimpiya Stadionu.

• This is Qarabağ's first game against Spanish opponents; Atlético have never before played a team from Azerbaijan.

Match backgroundQarabağ• The debutants have lost their first two Group C matches, going down 2-1 at home to AS Roma on matchday two intheir first home group stage game. That was only Qarabağ's second defeat in their last ten European home matches(W5 D3); the other also came at the hands of Italian opponents, 1-2 against ACF Fiorentina in the UEFA EuropaLeague on 8 December 2016.

• Qarabağ were beaten 6-0 at Chelsea FC in their first Group C game.

• Qarabağ's record in home group games in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League is W2 D4 L4.

• The Azerbaijani club reached the group stage for the first time by beating Georgian champions FC Samtredia in thesecond qualifying round (5-0 home, 1-0 away), followed by Moldova's FC Sheriff (0-0 home, 2-1 away) in the third. Inthe play-offs, they won 1-0 at home to FC København and advanced on away goals after a 2-1 defeat in Denmark.

• This is Qarabağ's fourth UEFA Champions League campaign; in each of the previous three they were eliminated inthe third qualifying round. Last year they ousted F91 Dudelange 3-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round, butthen lost to FC Viktoria Plzeň (0-0 away, 1-1 home) in the next stage.

• In 2016/17, the Baku-based team contested the UEFA Europa League group stage – for the third consecutive year – after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. They have never reached the knockout stages.

• Qarabağ qualified for the UEFA Champions League after winning the Azerbaijani Premier League for a fifth time in2016/17 – their fourth straight championship.

Atlético• The Spanish side played a friendly against FC Baku in 2013, winning 3-0 with Diego Costa – who returned to Atléticoin September but is not in their UEFA Champions League squad – scoring one of the goals.

• Atlético opened Group C with a 0-0 draw at Roma and were beaten 2-1 at home by Chelsea on matchday two.

• The Roma stalemate meant Atlético have managed just three victories in their last ten UEFA Champions Leagueaway matches (D3 L4). They did, however, win two of their three away fixtures in last year's group stage.

• Third in Spain in 2016/17, Atlético missed out on becoming only the seventh team to win all six matches in a UEFAChampions League group when they went down 1-0 at FC Bayern München on matchday six last season.

• Diego Simeone's men went on to reach the semi-finals, but a 3-0 first-leg reversal at Real Madrid proved too muchto retrieve despite a 2-1 second-leg success in the last European game to be played at the Vicente Calderón.

Coach and player links• Míchel scored in Getafe CF's 3-2 win against Atlético on 6 November 2011 – his only goal in 60 games for the club.He also featured in a 7-0 away defeat in November 2013 for Getafe, and in Sporting Gijón's 3-1 loss at Atlético'sformer home the Vicente Calderón on 26 April 2009.

• Míchel and Atlético's Miguel Ángel Moyà were team-mates at Getafe between 2011 and 2014.

• Daniel Quintana started his career in Valencia CF's B team (2006–08) and had spells at UD Puçol (2006/07, loan),Ontinyent CF (2008), UD Alzira (2008/09), Racing de Ferrol (2009/10), AD Huracán (2010/11), CD Olímpic de Xàtiva(2011/12) and Gimnàstic de Tarragona (2012/13) in his native Spain. He never faced Atlético.

• Qarabağ are 18 games unbeaten (W14 D4) in domestic competition, a run dating back to 28 February.
