The quarter-final stage of the Champions League closes at this time with the great meeting between Real Madrid, which is hosted by Atlanta in Bergamo, as part of the first meeting of two.
The Spanish champions were left with 12 first-team players fit for the game.
Karim Benzema is the latest to join the list of injured, which includes Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard, Marcelo, Danny Carvajal, Rodrigo and more.
As a result, Zinedine Zidane summoned to the game a short roster of only 19 players, seven of them from the reserve and youth teams.
So in terms of team selection, the French coach does not have much hesitation.
The Spanish champions have won their last four league games, but they are worried about the amount of deductions, as well as the fitness of their opponent tonight.
Atalanta comes into the game after three straight wins in all competitions, the last of which is 2: 4 over Napoli, and when it conquers in bundles like in its good old days.
"If we continue to attack like this, we will make Real Madrid a very difficult life," said Luis Muriel.
