Overview
- Atlético de Madrid host Inter at the Metropolitano on Matchday 5 of the Champions League league phase, with French referee François Letexier assigned.
- The new format rewards a top‑eight finish with direct entry to the round of 16, Inter arrive on 12 points from four wins, and Atlético need points to climb.
- Atlético ruled out goalkeeper Jan Oblak with a thigh muscle injury and confirmed Juan Musso to start, with Marcos Llorente also unavailable.
- Broadcasts vary by territory: ESPN and Disney+ carry the match across much of Latin America, Movistar Liga de Campeones airs it in Spain, and FOX has coverage in some markets.
- An Argentina‑led subplot features Lautaro Martínez vs. Julián Álvarez, and elsewhere Bayern’s Luis Díaz serves a three‑match UEFA ban that keeps him out against Arsenal.
