The last obstacle towards the final. Atalanta wants to rewrite history by trying to take the first step towards Dublin. The feat at Anfield is now behind us but it must serve as a boost to face a very difficult away match on a very hot pitch like that of Marseille. Olympique is the opponent in this double comparison, the Velodrome is the theater where you can try to give yourself another evening of glory.
Gasset’s eleven
Jean-Louis Gasset relies on Aubameyang in attack at the center of the trident supported by Sarr and Luis Henrique. In midfield there is a former acquaintance of Italian football like Veretout flanked by Harit and another ex from our Serie A like Kondogbia. In defense in front of former Roma Pau Lopez there is room for a four-man line with Clauss, Mbamba, Balerdi and Murillo.
Gasperini’s deployment
Gian Piero Gasperini relies on the attack formed by Scamacca with De Ketelaere and Koopmeiners behind him while the midfield is made up of Ederson and De Roon with Zappacosta and Ruggeri on the flanks. Space for Musso in goal with Scalvini, Djimsiti and Kolasinac making up the back pack.
