Atalanta have played five matches so far in the elimination phase of the Europa League and in the three away matches against Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool and Marseille there have always been situations in which the posts or crossbars have influenced the result.
For the moment he has always said good things about the team’s training Gasperini and we hope that also in Bergamo, with Marseille, we can celebrate at the final whistle a passage to the round which would mean access to the final in Dublin.
In Lisbon, against Sporting – among other things always with the German Siebert to direct the match -, the goal tally stopped at 3-1 for Atalanta. Scamacca, Holm And Lookman they saw their conclusions stopped on the woodwork of the opponent’s goal, like Coates for the hosts.
At Anfield, in the 3-0 triumph which saw Scamacca (double) and Pasalic score, the first half of the first leg was instead marked by the incredible crossbar of Elliott.
Last night (May 2), with the score 1-1, Marseille hit the top corner with Ounahi (right on the turn) and the race ended with a stalemate. Everything will be decided in a week in Bergamo, the hope is that the posts hit in the first leg will still be a good luck charm for de Roon and teammates in the last 90 minutes before Dublin.
