Real Madrid secured three points in the Champions League for just the third time this season with a 2–3 victory over Atalanta.
Real Madrid traveled to Italy to face an Atalanta team on a 14-game unbeaten run across all competitions. The Serie A leaders also only conceded one goal in their 2024–25 Champions League campaign, but found themselves overwhelmed by Los Blancos' superstars.
The match opened up with a Kylian Mbappé goal, much like the UEFA Super Cup meeting between the two sides. Atalanta found an equalizer from the spot just before half time, but Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham scored two goals within three minutes in the second half. Ademola Lookman pulled one back for the hosts in the 65th minute, but it was not enough to salvage a result against the defending Spanish and European champions.
Here's three things we learned from Real Madrid's Champions League victory over Atalanta.
