Real Madrid needed to defeat Atalanta after three defeats in their first five Champions League games of the season, and that is precisely what they did after claiming a 3-2 victory against Atalanta in Bergamo.
The visitors started quickly and were rewarded with the first goal. Kylian Mbappé brilliantly made the opportunity, which he buried from inside the penalty area. However, his evening ended early, as he would be forced to leave shortly after due to a suspected muscle injury.
Things got worse for Real Madrid when Charles de Ketelaere scored the equalizer in the closing stages of the first half, although they were decisive in the second half to force a 3-1 lead. First, Vinicius Junior scored after receiving a fortuitous pass, before Jude Bellingham continued his excellent form.
Ademola Lookman managed to score another goal for Atalanta, but in the end it was not enough for the Serie A team. It is a very important result that Real Madrid will appreciate and their chances of reaching the round of 16 have received a big boost.
