Real Madrid were almost embarrassed on Wednesday night in their 1st leg of the round of 16 tie in the Champions League against Atalanta. After being reduced to 10-men, the Italian side fought hard and prevented the Spanish giants from scoring.

Defending Champions Bayern&nbsp;Munich thrashed Italian side Lazio&nbsp;4-1 in the 1st leg of the round of 16 tie in Champions League in Rome. The home advantage didn't matter for Lazio&nbsp;as they could only score once during the game and that too in the 2nd half. For Bayern&nbsp;Munich,&nbsp;Robert Lewandowski&nbsp;became the league's 3rd highest goal&nbsp;scorer with his 9th min strike. 17-year-old Jamal Musiala&nbsp;and Leroy Sane also got on the scoresheet&nbsp;as Lazio&nbsp;also contributed to the scoreline with an own goal.
