(Photo by Giuseppe Cottini/Getty Images)](https://football-italia.net/ucl-atalanta-vs-real-madrid-line-ups-watch/) Atalanta look set to change only one man from their latest Serie A victory as coach Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to initially keep the team’s top goalscorer Mateo Retegui on the bench again in their Champions League’s home meeting with Real Madrid.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.
La Dea’s manager will line up Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman up front, hoping the pair can provide the goals that would put his side one step away from qualifying for the knock-out rounds.

Mario Pasalic will act as a trequartista behind them, with star Ederson and Marten De Roon having cemented their presence in the middle of the park as two of Gasperini’s irreplaceable players.
Berat Djimsiti will replace Isak Hien as a centre-back for the hosts’ only change from their 2-1 win over Milan, while Raoul Bellanova and Matteo Ruggeri will be the wing-backs.
Atalanta’s defensive trio, completed by Senad Kolasinac and Odilon Kossounou, will be tasked with limiting Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior, who should make Real Madrid’s attacking duo, with Jude Bellingham behind them.
With his side plagued by injuries, Carlo Ancelotti will have to field youngsters Raul Asencio and Fran Garcia in defence.
