Atalanta is playing in Bergamo with Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Argentine Cristian Cuti Romero is the starter of the Italian team and José Luis Palomino is on the bench.
Real Madrid in the first minutes was finding spaces in a fairly open defense.
And two plays showed the firepower of the Merengue team.
First, goalkeeper Gollini had to go out to cut a short and hit Vinicius with a tremendous plate and referee Stieler did not charge anything.
Then, at 17 minutes, Vinicius escaped, Freuler lowered him at the door of the area, the judge considered that he cut a manifest goal action (he got into the area diagonally but not towards the goal) and threw it.
With one less, Atalanta's plans were complicated.
Likewise, three minutes later, he generated a clear goal situation but Luis Muriel defined very poorly.
