Bayern to Face Atalanta in Champions League Round of 16

In a dramatic second‑leg play‑off, Atalanta overturned a 1‑0 deficit to beat Borussia Dortmund 4‑1, featuring a late penalty, three red cards and a stunning comeback. The win sends the Bergamo club into the Champions League round of 16, where they will host Bayern Munich.

Under coach Raffaele Palladino, Atalanta have been in fine form, sitting seventh in Serie A and winning recent matches against Napoli, Juventus and Roma. Key players such as Nikola Krstović, Gianluca Scamacca and Lazar Samardžić will be on the front line as the team prepares to test Bayern’s defence in the upcoming clash.
