La Liga titleholders Real Madrid head to Bergamo for this UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash with Atalanta of Serie A. Don't miss a moment with our Atalanta vs Real Madrid live stream guide.
Today's away side Real Madrid topped their Champions League group with three wins, earning them a spot in the round of 16.
Last year, Los Blancos exited the competition at this stage after a 4-2 aggregate loss to Man City. Manager Zinedine Zidane will hope he can spur his side on to the latter stages of the competition this year.
Atalanta also won three games in their group, though Liverpool took top spot meaning Gian Piero Gasperini went into the round of 16 draw as an unseeded runner-up.
La Dea competed in their first Champions League last season, reaching the quarter-final stage before being despatched by eventual finalists Paris Saint-Germain.
Atalanta come into today's game on the back of a five-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. That includes a two-legged Coppa Italia semi-final tie that saw them emerge victorious over Napoli, earning them a final date with Juventus in May.
Real Madrid are chasing back-to-back La Liga titles after bumping FC Barcelona from top spot after a coronavirus-enforced break. Real sit in second place behind city rivals Atlético Madrid right now with a three-point differential and having played one game more.
Today's game marks the first-ever meeting between these two sides. Real Madrid, with their 13 Champions League titles, are favorites to go through in many minds, though Atalanta will be no pushovers.
Plus, Real are suffering with several injuries at present — including stars like Karim Benzema, Edin Hazard, and Sergio Ramos — compared to Atalanta's essentially full-strength squad.
