Italo Cucci is right: Bologna is Piazza Grande. Thiago Motta’s team also conquered Naples, trailed Juventus on 67 points, are third and, what matters most, already in the Champions League thanks to Atalanta’s victory over Roma, and will host the Bianconeri for the match next Monday. fight of the year.
However, if Bologna is Piazza Grande, Bergamo is Piazza Grandissima. Gasperini’s team eliminated Marseille, reached the Dublin final with Bayer Leverkusen, the Italian Cup final with Juve, but last night for 65 minutes they played as you can only play in heaven. Intense, stratospheric, hyper-productive match, capable of destroying Roma and coming close to scoring on ten other occasions. Then, since football remains an endless mystery, a penalty on Abraham, converted by Pellegrini, risked calling everything into question and would have been an insult to beauty. I’m going to check how to spell De Ketelaere. Not arriving in Milan, in Bergamo he became a player of rare excellence.
Even Juventus, after a frightening draw due to yet another poor performance, took advantage of the Bergamo team’s victory and regained the Champions League. This Juventus against this Atalanta shouldn’t even show up on Wednesday at the Olimpico for the Italian Cup final, but the ball never responds to predictions, indeed it often enjoys subverting them. We will see.
The question of salvation remains open. Cagliari, overwhelmed by Milan, was able to enjoy the defeat of Frosinone at the hands of Inter, of Verona at home against Torino, of Empoli at the Olimpico and of Sassuolo in Genoa. Today Lecce receives Udinese and Fiorentina receives Monza. Only the first counts, and a lot.
