The hosts had faced an almighty task after losing the first leg 2-0 in Germany, but scored twice in the first half through Gianluca Scamacca and Davide Zappacosta to level the tie on aggregate. Mario Pasalic made it 3-0 in the 57th minute, but Karim Adeyemi looked to have taken the game into extra time when he curled in a leveller overall. But, with just seconds left in stoppage time, Ramy Bensebaini caught Nikola Krstovic on the head in the box with a reckless high boot as the Atalanta forward attempted to meet a cross following a mistake by visiting keeper Gregor Kobel. After a check by the video assistant referee (VAR) for a penalty and a possible red card, referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez was summoned to the screen, after which he decided to award the spot-kick and dismiss Bensebaini with a second yellow card. Lazar Samardzic then kept his cool to convert the highest of pressure penalties, sending the ball into the roof of the net and Atalanta into the last 16, where they will face either Arsenal or Bayern Munich. The home fans celebrated wildly at the final whistle after witnessing an amazing display of desire and determination from their side. Atalanta knew they needed an early goal to give them a chance of a famous comeback - and they got just that in the fifth minute. Lorenzo Bernasconi sent a low cross in from the left, where former West Ham forward Scamacca was in the perfect place to tap in. As Dortmund looked increasingly rattled, the hosts added a second on the stroke of half-time when Zappacosta's shot from outside the box took a deflection on its way into the net. After Adeyemi's 75th-minute strike cancelled out Pasalic's effort, the tie opened up with both sides having chances before the end. But the decisive moment came in the third of three minutes of stoppage time as extra time beckoned. Kobel failed to clear and gifted Atalanta an attacking opportunity that led to the penalty as Bensebaini flicked out a leg backwards as Krstovic stooped to meet the cross. Amid the chaos and furious protests on the Dortmund bench at the decision, substitute Nico Schlotterbeck was also shown a red card. Atalanta substitute Giorgio Scalvini was also red carded for his part in the argument. It was a remarkable end after a remarkable effort by Atalanta. Not since Liverpool, in their 2019 semi-final against Barcelona, had a team progressed after losing the first leg of a knockout-stage tie by two or more goals.

Their 2-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund was the first time they’ve lost a first leg by more than one goal. Borussia Dortmund have progressed from seven of their nine UEFA Champions League knockout stage ties when winning the first leg. On both occasions they were eliminated, they’d only won the first leg by a one-goal margin (vs PSG in 2019-20 and Chelsea in 2022-23). Before this season, there have been 126 occasions of a team losing the first leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie by 2+ goals – only 15 have gone on to progress, most recently Liverpool against Barcelona in the 2018-19 semi-final. Atalanta are winless in all three of their previous meetings with Borussia Dortmund in all competitions (D1 L2), with their only home game against them ending 1-1 in the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League. Borussia Dortmund have won just one of their last eight away games against Italian sides in all competitions (D2 L5), beating Milan 3-1 in the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage. Atalanta have lost each of their last three UEFA Champions League games – they’ve never lost four in a row in major European competition before. Borussia Dortmund have won just one of their last five away games in the UEFA Champions League, conceding four goals in three of these games. Atalanta had just seven shots in their 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg – only once have they had fewer in their 42 UEFA Champions League games (2 vs Real Madrid in February 2021). Serhou Guirassy has been involved in 24 goals in just 23 UEFA Champions League games for Borussia Dortmund (17 goals, 7 assists), the second most for the club after Marco Reus (37 – 24 goals, 13 assists). Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier were on target in Borussia Dortmund’s 2-0 win over Atalanta in the first leg – only Erling Haaland (2020-21 round of 16 vs Sevilla) has scored in both legs of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie for the German side.
