Analysis

Atalanta faces a daunting task as they welcome Real Madrid to Gewiss Stadium. Despite their strong performances in Serie A and the Champions League in recent seasons, Atalanta will be heavily tested by a Real Madrid side that continues to dominate in Europe. Atalanta’s high-pressing style could cause problems for Madrid’s defense, but their own backline is vulnerable to the pace and technical brilliance of Madrid’s forwards, especially Vinícius Júnior and Karim Benzema.

Real Madrid, as usual, will look to control the game in midfield, with Luka Modrić orchestrating play and Toni Kroos providing his trademark passing accuracy. Atalanta will need a heroic performance from their key players like Rasmus Højlund and Teun Koopmeiners to stand a chance of breaking down Madrid’s defense.

Given the disparity in depth and experience, Real Madrid will likely come out on top in this encounter, although Atalanta’s spirit and determination could make it a closer contest than expected.
