What is at stake for Atalanta BC and Bayern Munich?

Though no team will be able to progress into the quarter-finals after Tuesday's game, it may be important for Atalanta to take a lead heading into the return leg at Allianz Arena next week.

Bayern will have to be wary of their opponents given they came back from a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Dortmund, winning 4-1 in the second leg on February 25.

Vincent Kompany's side will almost certainly claim a second consecutive Bundesliga title, and the head coach will want to bring home the team's seventh Champions League crown.

Considering the visitors have only lost one of their last 12 round of 16 games in the Champions League, an exit at this stage looks unlikely, so Atalanta must make the most of home advantage on Tuesday if they wish to progress.
