Ferland Mendy scored late to give Real Madrid a 1-0 win over 10-man Atalanta in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 matchup.
The Italian hosts went down a player in the 17th minute of Wednesday's match when Remo Freuler was called for fouling Mendy outside of the penalty box.
Atalanta, usually known for their high-scoring matches, were able to stifle Real's attack for the most of the match after Freuler's exit.
