Atalanta treat themselves to a magical night in the Champions League. Yet another. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team dominates, risks little and beats Stuttgart 2-0 in the fourth round of the single group stage of the international tournament. In the first half of the match the Nerazzurri, who they have to give up Kolasinac due to a muscle strainthey start strong but are unable to inflate Nubel’s goal but at the same time they risk something in defense against the attacks of the German red and whites.
In the second half the entrance of De Ketelaere changes the momentum of the match. The Belgian himself sprints down the right lane and serves Lookman with a low cross that he only has to push into the goal for Bergamo’s 1-0. The final goal was scored by Zaniolo, who entered the second half of the match after winning a duel with Rouault.
At the end of the match Gian Piero Gasperini is satisfied: “We came here with ambition but we can’t win from there. These are difficult fields, Stuttgart had won in Turin against Juventus. It’s the way this victory was achieved that gives us confidence. We won with personality , perhaps we suffered at the end and there was a lack of order. For us these matches are a reason for growth. Last year’s experience has a lot more awareness.”
