While Flick's side may be dominant in La Liga, Simeone's team have had the edge over them at times this season. The capital club were able to eliminate them from two key competitions, first knocking their rivals out of the Copa del Rey at the semi-final stage with a 4–3 aggregate victory over two legs before also beating them in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3–2 aggregate win.
