AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid live stream: How to watch Champions League match online

The AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid live stream takes place soon, and it's another standout fixture in a packed Champions League 21/22 matchday two.

The teams go into the game in very different runs of form. AC Milan are unbeaten in Serie A. The only league match they've failed to win was a recent 1-1 draw against Juventus. Daniel Maldini, the 19-year-old son of the legendary Paolo and grandson of the similarly legendary Cesare, scored his first goal for the club on his first start in Saturday’s 1-2 victory over Spezia. He's on the bench for this Champions League tie.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, are putting up a relatively lackluster defence of their La Liga title. They currently sit in fourth place, having only won three of their seven league games. They suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat away to lowly Alaves at the weekend and are already three points behind Marid rivals Real. 

Atletico will also be disappointed to have only managed a draw against FC Porto on matchday one. However, AC Milan are very much in need of points to get their campaign going, following a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on the opening night. In such a competitive group, the two matches between these sides are going to be crucial in deciding who progresses in the competition.

The Spanish team has the advantage in the head-to-head history. They won both legs when the sides met in the 2013/14 Champions League Round of 16, ending with a comprehensive 5-1 aggregate victory. AC Milan had not been back in the Champions league since that defeat until this season. Atleti went on to lose the final that season, and again in 2016. They only made it to the Round of 16 last season, where they were knocked out by eventual winners Chelsea.

Veteran forward Zlatan Ibrahimović remains unavailable for the Rossoneri due to injury, and Danish centre-back Simon Kjaer is out too. For Atletico, Thomas Lemar is back from injury and is on the bench.

Here's how they line up:

Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Romagnoli, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Rebic.

Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Gimenez, Felipe, Hermoso; Trippier, Kondogbia, Koke, Llorente, Carrasco; Correa, Luis Suarez.
