In the last 5 seasons, Atletico have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League on four occasions by Real Madrid, after the Los Blancos reigned supreme over them in the finals of the 2013/14 and 2015/16 editions respectively while also knocking them out in the quarter-finals in 2014/15 and in the semi-finals during the 2016/17 campaign.
This particular triumph over the defending European champions in the UEFA Super Cup will mean a lot to the players especially considering the fact that they were so close to achieving it on numerous occasions in the recent past.
