Latest Kitchee vs Atletico Madrid match review
While Kitchee are not as globally renowned as Atletico Madrid, the Hong Kong club have had notable achievements, including becoming the first team from Hong Kong to win an AFC Champions League match and reaching the round of 16 of the competition. Kitchee have also won six Hong Kong Premier League titles and six Hong Kong First Division titles, with the most recent coming in the 2022-23 season.
However, the 2023-24 season has not been favorable for Kitchee as they finished fourth in the Hong Kong Premier League, one point short of the AFC Champions League berth, and were eliminated from the AFC Champions League group stage. The match against Atletico Madrid will be a big challenge for Kitchee, as they will move from Mong Kok Stadium with over 6,000 spectators to Hong Kong Stadium with a capacity of over 40,000 people.
Atletico Madrid, after a disappointing season and a finish outside the top three in La Liga, have had a turbulent summer of change. They lost Alvaro Morata, who scored 28 goals in the last two La Liga seasons, and have signed Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth to replace him. The Spanish side have had two successful friendlies, including a penalty shootout win over Numancia and a 3-1 win over Getafe.
Based on their experience and superior attacking quality, Atletico Madrid are expected to win easily against Kitchee on Wednesday night, especially since Kitchee have yet to start their friendly schedule.
