Real Madrid is on the look for counterattack as well. Madrid's defense is weak and Atalanta is working hard to take advantage of it, but their strikers isn't proficient enough to score. Atalanta have missed opportunities in the game, and real Madrid is yet to seize a strong chance to score a goal.
However, first half should end draw, and the second half will consist of 2 goals. Mbappe on the other hand haven't entertained the numerous amount of fans who are looking to see what he'd do in the match.
Atalanta missed some good chances that Real Madrid could have converted, while Atalanta defensively were solid by making sure they didn’t give the Madrid deadly attackers chances to score in the first half.
The second half will be interesting to watch; just as Madrid did in the Champions League final against Dortmund, they will put more effort to creat more chances for their wingers to score any goal chance they get; while Atalanta will also wants to make use of any good chance they can get since Madrid defense is a bit weak.
Atalanta played like they did against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europe League Final, therefore they carried out very strict marking of Real Madrid players, and they did not even hesitate to commit a foul to stop their opponent's attack. This strategy seems quite effective so far but, on the other side, they also have to think about the consequences because their strategy will definitely drain their stamina, and at that point, it would be a good moment for Real Madrid to get their goal.
