After three consecutive seasons falling in the round of 16, Spaniards seek qualification
Real Madrid will receive Atalanta in a little while, at 5 pm, Brasília time, for the return match of the Champions League round of 16, with the advantage of a draw to advance, since in the first game the Spaniards won and won by 1 to 0.
For three seasons without reaching the quarterfinals, playing for Alfredo Di Stéfano, Real will try to overcome the absence of Casemiro, suspended as well as injured Carvajal and Hazard. Who is back in the team after being out of the game in the first leg is striker Benzema.
To qualify, Atalanta need to win by two goals difference. The Italians will not be able to count on Hans Hateboer, with a fractured foot, while Freuler is suspended after being sent off in the last game. The team has had good results in the 2021 season, but lost the clashes against the most expressive teams: Lazio, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
