Atalanta Player Ratings – Retegui Don’t Be Afraid to Take Penalties, Cuadrado on Fire

Final result: Atalanta-Arsenal 0-0

Carnesecchi 7 – Who knows how the match would have ended without that double save. First he puts his gloves on Saka, then on Partey. Always alert, he raises the shutter on one of the most important nights.

Djimsiti 7 – Fewer mistakes than in the match against Fiorentina, he plays with greater attention without conceding practically anything.

Hien 6.5 – The attention threshold has increased exponentially compared to Sunday’s race: a few too many mistakes risk compromising the race, but errors have decreased significantly.

Kolasinac 6,5 – The usual game of nastiness, in which nothing passes his way. He lets Martinelli escape, luckily the Brazilian kicks high.

Zappacosta 6.5 – Gasp gives him the right lane, he goes deep when he can, he plays with his usual experience. He also helps in defense when needed. From 70′ Bellanova 6 – Containment game, he places himself there and gives assistance to anyone.

From Roon 6 – He struggles in a game full of intensity, but overall he puts in the usual sufficient game. The years pass, but his desire to run is always useful.

Ederson 6.5 – He gets a penalty, he stands up until the end of the match and manages to keep the defense in check gunners. Not bad, he needs to find the right confidence again.

Roger 6 – It’s not a night where there’s space to attack, but it helps a lot in defense: the diagonal closing in the second half is excellent.

The Ketelaere 6 – He lights up in a flash, but it’s not enough to find the billiard shot. Gasp gives him an hour, just right: there’s another match on Monday night. From 60′ Cuadrado 6.5 – Comes in with a good attitude, comes close to scoring on two occasions. Lively, bites the ankles.

Reach 6 – Against Gabriel the job is complex, you need physicality and nastiness. He misses a penalty, but it doesn’t matter: the boy will make it, just don’t be afraid to take penalties. From 70′ Zaniolo 6 – He has few playable balls, but games like that help him get back into shape.

Lookman 6 – He goes intermittently, he lights up less frequently than in the match against Viola. Slightly better in the second half, but nothing more than when he plays with the handbrake on.

Gian Piero Gasperini 7 – It was a tough race, he knew it too. He takes home a precious point, which can make the difference in the coming months. Better to take what you can.
