Atalanta have given themselves work to do this evening after losing at home. Remo Freuler's dismissal put Gian Piero Gasperini's men up against it after only 16 minutes in the contest. They battled manfully, but were eventually undone by Los Blancos. They have won three of their four matches since in Serie A, losing only once to Inter. They put in an impressive performance to see off Spezia last time out, and will need a flawless effort tonight.
Madrid take a 1-0 lead into the contest having scored late on against the Italian outfit on the road through Ferland Mendy.
