Atalanta’s seventh: impressive also in the Champions League, De Ketelaere returns as a magician

Even among the large ones in Europe theAtalanta proves to be fine. Of course, Young Boys cannot be considered a Champions League opponent, so much so that they have zero points in the standings, but Inter had also suffered in Bern while Goddess went for a pleasure walk, giving the Swiss a 6-1 with goals from de Ketelaere (double), Retegui (double), Kolasinac and Samardzic. Obviously also thanks to a negative evening to say the least for Young Boys.

Credit to the collective, because the whole team did very well. But then there are the individuals who stand out, two above all: De Ketelaere returns as a magician, he is the best on the pitch and the numbers say so; Retegui also unlocks himself in the Champions League and scores two more in Europe too; Kolasinac is the working class hero and evergreen Cuadrado. CDK, among other things, is also a record holder: no other player from an Italian team had previously managed to participate in five goals (two goals and three assists) before the Belgian.

Gasp can only be satisfied: “For us it is also a good period in the league. The victory of the Europa League has made those protagonists grow considerably in terms of confidence, self-esteem and authority, then many new players have arrived who are integrating and growing within the team group. Retegui was decisive right from the start, for a few games we have been seeing Kossounou while today Cuadrado also played a very good game. And there is also Samardzic who scored an extraordinary goal.”
