Real Madrid coach Zidane: We go to Atalanta to win

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says they're in Bergamo to beat Atalanta on Wednesday night.

The first-leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie will be held in Italy.

“We know the game that awaits us tomorrow and we know where we're coming from. We worked well, are concentrated, and need to get a good result," said the Merengues coach in his press conference.

“We have the right experience and hope to reach the Final. We have every intention of doing so, that's what Real Madrid do: we go out there to win. There's a second leg too, but we are concentrated on tomorrow's game.

"We don't know our opponents very well and must play our football, while also adapting to the Atalanta style of play. They are a very attacking side, similar to Ajax a couple of years ago. They have excellent individual players, are solid, and I expect tomorrow to be a wonderful game of football."
