A Goddess wonderful, against all odds after that draw with Liverpool. However, Atalanta bullied everyone, starting with Reds up to Marseille: the 3-0 defeat against the French was the consecration of an incredible journey, of the strength of a team that will now have to deal with a Leverkusen that seems unbeatable. It will be 90 minutes (maybe) of tension, but there is only one objective, that of making the decisive move and writing a new page.
De Ketelaere sumptuous, iron defense
The performances of the individuals were also surprising, starting with an unstoppable De Ketelaere: it is difficult to think of a lack of redemption when the Belgian is in this condition. The same goes for the defence, rock-like, impossible to overcome: Gasp took care of everything down to the smallest detail, starting from the basics and arriving at a football that won’t be missed.
Gasperini’s words
Gian Piero Gasperini celebrated at the end, reiterating the importance of what he had done: “We play a lot of matches, it’s not easy to always play at your best, there are some matches in which you struggle. Tonight was a good victory. I had already said it yesterday, there was a city around us, when there are these emotions and these energies it is clear that the players perceive them. It was a special match, they interpreted it in the best way.”
