Gian Piero Gasperini, the Atalanta manager, has made it known that they will play their own game in Madrid in the second-leg game.
"We defended well and almost brought home the 0-0," Gasperini said.
"But it would've certainly been more entertaining with 11 against 11. We might've lost anyway, I am not complaining about the result.
"But we at least could've played our game. We are satisfied, though, and we are going to Madrid to play our game."
Madrid will host Atalanta for the first time in a competitive match.
Their first-leg encounter was their first-ever meeting in a competitive game.
