“In history: the cup is ours!…and what a team!!!”
This is the title of last night’s Instagram post on Marco Carnesecchi’s profile after Dublin’s victory against Atalanta in the Europa League.
Marco Carnesecchi remained in the memories (and hearts) of the Grigiorossi fans, for having been one of the protagonists of the promotion of Cremonese in the 2021/22 season under the orders of Pecchia. Of that day in Como, where the Grigiorossi won 2-1, the memory remains of his celebration after conceding a goal from a penalty (a unique if not rare case), which sealed the Grigiorossi’s promotion.
36 games in Serie B and 27 in the following Serie A season when, after returning to Atalanta at the end of the loan and after the subsequent injury with the Italian U21 team of which he was a player and captain, he returned to Cremona, after the start of championship, for his first experience in Serie A.
This season, as a starter with the DEA shirt, he achieved the goal of qualifying for the Champions League and last night in Dublin, winning against Bayern Leverkusen 3-0, the Europa League.
A final lived with trepidation from the bench together with his teammates, as a reserve for the ‘night goalkeeper’ Musso, but this did not prevent him from enjoying Atalanta’s first historic victory in Europe.
The skills of the goalkeeper from Rimini, born in 2000, did not go unnoticed by the national coach Spalletti, and after a season like the one that is coming to an end, it is very likely that he could be part of the Italian selection, which will go to play in the championships next June Europeans.
Congratulations Marco!
