Mendy’s late strike puts the La Liga side ahead, but Atalanta go to Madrid with everything to play for.

Man City’s defence is ridiculous.
OFFICIAL: Robert Lewandowski has been named the UCL Player of the Week for his performance against Lazio.
Following a demoralising 4-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund shift their attention to the UEFA Champions League as they welcome Sevilla on Tuesday.
The black and Yellows are heading into this game on the back of a 3-2 advantage in the first leg. The three away goals mean Sevilla will at least have to score the same number of goals while keeping the mighty Dortmund attack at bay.
It will be a difficult challenge for the Spanish giants, given how their defence was completely ripped apart by Erling Haaland and co. In addition to that, the club has registered only one win in four matches since the first leg, including their knockout at the hands of FC Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey as well as a defeat to Elche on the weekend.
Dortmund, in contrast, were in excellent form before their run was eventually halted by Bayern Munich. They still have good reasons to be optimistic about this game, and the fans have witnessed a significant improvement in chance creation and defensive solidity. Both will be critical as they look to seal their ticket to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this midweek.
Roman Burki may return between the sticks for Borussia Dortmund here following his return from injury.
Giovanni Reyna missed Der Klassiker on Saturday and is considered a doubt, but Axel Witsel, Marcel Schmelzer, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Guerreiro miss out.
After using a three-man backline on Saturday, Edin Terzic may revert to a 4-3-2-1, with Thomas Meunier, Thomas Delaney and Thorgan Hazard coming into the side.
The deciders! Which 2 teams will qualify? 
Real Madrid
Barcelona
