Nonetheless, Atalanta’s development as a club in the last seasons indicates that they may be a real danger at this moment.
Real Madrid has an edge going into this game. Their glorious past in European tournaments combined with the talent they possess in their squad is everything required for triumph. Plus Kylian Mbappé who is joining them adds more chances to score goals in a very dangerous form of play.
