Atalanta have also had their struggles domestically. They've lost four of their last five Serie A matches and were beaten by relegation-contenders Verona on Saturday. La Dea's Champions League standing is perhaps flattering, too, having faced six of the weaker teams in the group format so far. Ivan Jurić managed only 15 games as coach before being fired last month; now replacement Raffaele Palladino must prove his worth.
Three points on Tuesday will almost assure at least a spot in the knockout phase playoffs. So read on and we'll show you how you can watch Atalanta vs Chelsea in the 2025/26 Champions League from anywhere in the world.
