Real Madrid vs Atalanta: Storylines

Real Madrid have a good opportunity to seal their place in the next round after leaving Italy with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Despite that controversial win, they got a close but important difference, that should enable them to get into the quarter-finals once again, after failing to do it last year. The Merengues won eight of their last nine knockout stages when getting a victory in the first leg away

Atalanta still have one shot to progress in the competition, though. While they sit in fourth place in the Serie A standings, they have one more match to remain in the European tournament. Despite facing a mighty team like Real Madrid, Gianpiero Gasperini's men got used to being the underdogs, and the difference that they have to overcome isn't too big. 

However, Los Blancos have won eleven of their last twelve UEFA Champions League matches against Italian teams. But they've failed to win their last four Round of 16 games played on their ground. On the other hand, Atalanta hold an amazing streak of five straight UCL victories on the road.
