VIDEO: 'A goal and the win here are very valuable' - Courtois
Real Madrid got the better of Atalanta on the road in the first leg of the Round of 16 Champions League tie.
Real Madrid travelled to Bergamo to face Atalanta on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
After an even start to the game, Atalanta were reduced to ten men with 17 minutes when Freuler was controversially sent off for bringing down Mendy. Atalanta then decided to defend, but Real Madrid struggled to create many clear openings. Ferland Mendy scored a lovely 86th minute goal though to give Madrid a 0-1 victory.
Goalkeeper Courtois highlighted the importance of the win and the away goal after the game. Have a listen to his comments in the video above!
