    FT: RM 3-1 Atalanta (agg 4-1)!!! All over in Madrid and it was easy for Zidane's men! Take out the first 20 minutes and RM were in complete control. Benzema put RM ahead in the first half and Ramos scored from the spot on the hour mark. Luis Muriel scored a free-kick late on for the visitors, but it was always too late and Asensio snuffed out any chance of a miraculous comeback when he made it 3-1. Fully deserved win.

  • 45'
    HT: RM 1-0 Atalanta (agg 2-0) !! Half-time in Madrid and RM lead this one thanks to a Benzema goal. The Italians started the game really well and could have scored through Gossens and Djimsiti, but after 20 minutes, RM took over. Zidane's men started threatening the Atalanta goal and Benzema gave RM the lead after the Atalanta GK passed the ball straight to Modric. Atalanta are in trouble here. Back shortly!

  • 39'
    Yellow card to Valverde for a foul on Djimsiti.
  • 38'
    Atalanta look to attack and nothing comes of it.
  • 35'
    That goal means we can't have ET. The match will end in 90 minutes and Atalanta need 2 goals to win. Simply speaking, Atalanta have to win tonight, RM go through if they win or draw.
  • 35'
    Modric barely had to move to intercept that Sportiello pass. Absolutely criminal by the GK.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

    The players are out here!

    Atalanta beat Spezia 3-1 in their last match on Friday and there are three alterations. Romero is on for Palomino, Pessina for the suspended Freuler and Malinovskyi for Ilicic. Zapata is only on the bench.
  • PRVW
    RM make two changes from the 2-1 win over Elche at the weekend. Kroos and Modric are in for Casemiro (suspended) and Isco.
  • PRVW
    RM won the first leg 0-1 against 10 man Atalanta thanks to a lovely goal by Ferland Mendy right towards the end. Atalanta have to win, a draw or loss means RM progress. 0-1 is the only scoreline which can take us to ET so if RM score, the game must end in 90 minutes.
