This Tuesday (10th), Atalanta and Real Madrid will face each other at 5pm (Brasilia time), at the Atleti Azzurri D’Itália, in Bergamo, Italy, in a match valid for the 6th round of the group stage of the main competition for clubs of the planet. Furthermore, the teams will re-edit the last decision of the UEFA Super Cup, between the reigning European champions.
Where to look
The match will be broadcast live on TNT and Max (streaming).
How do you get to Atalanta?
Atalanta are enjoying themselves this season and come ready to face the current Champions League champions. This is because the team was top of the Italian championship last weekend and wants to take advantage of the home match to add three more points at this stage of the championship and advance to the knockout stage.
Atalanta is currently fifth in the Champions League stage, with three wins and two draws in five rounds. The team therefore remains unbeaten in the competition and seeks a direct place in the knockout phase.
Furthermore, the only confirmed absences at Atalanta are Juan Cuadrado and Gianluca Scamacca, injured. However, the expert Zappacosta is treated as doubtful. The expectation, in other words, is that coach Gian Piero Gasperini repeats the formation that beat Milan away from home in the last round of the Italian Championship.
How Real Madrid arrives
On the other hand, Real Madrid is going through an irregular moment both in the Spanish championship and in the Champions League. Thus, coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has had to deal with major injuries, has received criticism for his work at the Merengue club this season.
Real Madrid are in 24th place, with six points, in the last position that guarantees a place in the knockout playoffs. In other words, the Meringue club needs to bring points back to the Champions League to avoid a tragic elimination in the first phase, when there are only three rounds left until the end of the championship phase.
The good news is that Vini Jr has recovered from a left leg injury and has been called up to face Atalanta. The same happens with Rodrygo. The squad continues however with six players delivered to the medical department. These are the cases of Carvajal, Camavinga, Éder Militão, David Alaba, Rodrygo and Mendy.
