The UEFA Champions League is back, and we have a blockbuster matchup on our hands as Atalanta welcomes Real Madrid to the Gewiss Stadium. Both teams are coming off of impressive victories in their respective domestic leagues, so we can expect a closely contested and entertaining match.
Atalanta has been in excellent form this season, and they currently sit third in the Serie A standings. They have won four of their last five matches, and they have scored at least two goals in each of those victories. Atalanta is a dangerous attacking team, and they will be looking to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense from the opening whistle.
Real Madrid is also in good form, and they are the defending champions of the Champions League. They have won three of their last four matches in all competitions, and they have scored at least two goals in each of those victories. Real Madrid has a wealth of experience in the Champions League, and they will be confident of getting a positive result in Bergamo.
This is a tough match to call, but I think Real Madrid will win by a narrow margin. They have the quality and experience to win even on the road.
