| It could be kind of strange but Real Madrid shouldn't be seen as a favorite. The Galacticos won their fourth game in a row by beating Valladolid on Saturday, but Atalanta are in a class of their own at home. The quality of Bergamo's defeated opponents offers us a reason not to rush to pick the side of the supposed favorite from Spain in this upcoming Champions League game. In fact, Atalanta beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 2-0 and Ajax 1-0 in the group stage. Atalanta enters in this match in a mood after a 4-2 victory over Napoli during the weekend. Zidane's team's last appearance on Saturday against Valladolid was not exactly great. In the 1-0 win against the relegation candidate from Valladolid, Madrid never acted as they should and it looked like they are not fully controlling the game. The fact that Real Madrid has similar difficulties at the back as Atalanta is also not a secret. |
