In the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League group stage, the two teams competed against each other. In the first leg at Vicente Calderón, the hosts won 1-0 with a goal from Arda Turan. Back then, Mario Mandžukić played for Los Colchoneros. He lined-up alongside Diego Godín, Juanfran, Koke, Saúl Ñíguez and substitute Antoine Griezmann, while Jan Oblak and José María Giménez remained on the bench. Out of Massimiliano Allegri’s current squad, Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci were both on the pitch for the Bianconeri, with the return match ending goalless in Turin. The result meant Atlético finished in first place and Juventus in second, nonetheless, both clubs progressed to the knockout stages.
