Too much Atalanta for Shakhtar Donetsk. This is the summary of the match played at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, “home” of the Ukrainian team: there’s no story there Goddess he leaves no chance for his rivals and wins his first victory in the new Champions League.
Authoritative performance, like a great team, like a big European team. The Bergamo team dominated practically the entire match and won with a clear 3-0, the result of the first goals in the top European competition by Djimsiti, Lookman and Bellanova. When the Nigerian lights up, Pusic’s defense is painfulwho is overwhelmed by the Orobic fury but manages to at least avoid a heavier liability.
The only negative note of yet another evening to remember for Gasperini’s boys are the injuries to Djimsiti and Kossounou: the coach himself, however, reassures on the conditions of the two centre-backs, who could return as a precaution after the break. Gasp, obviously happy with his team’s performance now think about the championship, where Atalanta are a bit behind and want to recover positions.
