Italy's Atalanta lost to Real Madrid in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. The meeting took place in Bergamo and ended with a score of 0: 1 in favor of the guests.
The first half passed with a minimum of scoring chances. The main event of the starting 45 minutes of the game was the removal of the hosts' midfielder Remo Freuler, who interrupted Ferlan Mendy's exit to his goal with a foul of last resort.
Having received a numerical advantage, “Real” predictably took possession of a territorial advantage, but he could not translate it into goals before the break..
The “creamy” were able to snatch victory at the very end of the meeting. Mendy shot from outside the penalty area and hit right into the corner of the hosts' goal.
The return match of the teams will play in Madrid on March 16.
