Real Madrid hosts Atalanta in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 16th at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
Real Madrid is a team of such a level that it is required to churn out trophies on an annual basis. In the last season, Zidane brought the Whites the Super Cup and, most importantly, the champion’s title. And Florentino Perez considered him as "heaven's blessing", despite the early relegation from the Champions League. Now the situation for the French mentor and his stellar charges is not easy. They ingloriously lost in the first games of the Super Cup and Copa del Rey. As for LaLiga, there is less and less chance of catching up with Atletico, and don’t forget that the Mattress Makers almost won the derby. So, Real Madrid has to rely on its ability to win the Champions League Cups. Although the Whites are not among the favorites of the current draw, they won in Bergamo.

Atalanta will actually defend the honor of the entire country and Serie A. Inter did not progress from the group, Juventus was sensationally knocked out by the outsider Porto, and Lazio has no chances in the confrontation with Bayern. But the team of Gian Piero Gasperini does not look hopeless. Who knows how everything would have ended on February 24, if the referee had not sent Remo Freuler off in the 17th minute? By the way, that red card, shown by Tobias Stieler, looks extremely controversial for many experts. Having left with ten men, the Italians fought back in an organized manner and tried to create something in return. Now they are going to shock Madrid. Malinovsky, Miranchuk, and the company are quite capable of creating problems for the hosts. Yes, Atalanta will have to attack, but this is the usual element for the Goddess.
Atalanta may not win, but it won't give up without a fight. The meeting should please with good speeds and activity on both sides, so we expect spectacular football and at least three goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
