A late goal from Ferland Mendy on Wednesday made the difference between Atalanta and Real Madrid (0-1) in the Champions League. A match in which the club from Bergamo, for the first time after sixteen matches in the European tournament, failed to achieve a single aimed shot at goal. In the fifteen previous matches, the opponents of the Italians had to deal with an average of five targeted attempts, but Real Madrid remained proud in a defensive way.

The excellent series of Real Madrid on Italian soil thus continues. In comparison: between 1956 and 2015, the Spanish top club won only four of its thirty matches as a visiting party in Italy. Afterwards, Real Madrid won each of the six matches, with thirteen goals for and only one against. The series started with victories over AS Roma (0-2) and Napoli (1-3). With Zinedine Zidane on the bench, victories over Juventus (0-3), AS Roma (0-2), Internazionale (0-2) and Atalanta (0-1) were added.
