  /  AllFootball

Real Madrid will travel to face AEK Athens on Matchday 4 of the Champions League league phase. The in-form Los Blancos are targeting a fourth consecutive Champions League win, but the Greek side’s home ground has proved a challenging venue for Madrid in the past.

The sides’ only two Champions League meetings came in the 2002-03 group stage. Real Madrid drew 3-3 away to AEK Athens in an end-to-end first encounter. Back at the Bernabéu for the return fixture, Los Blancos were again held to a draw, this time 2-2.

In other words, Real Madrid have faced AEK Athens twice in the Champions League, drawing both matches without recording a win. In other European competition, AEK also beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home in the UEFA Cup in 1985. Athens has never been a happy hunting ground for Real Madrid.
