Atalanta's Defense is looking so pitiful as usual. However, Neymar looks way out of form and they found a way to lead the match. Let's see how the second half adjustments go. If PSG keeps on missing their opportunities maybe Muriel can come in and sucker punch them with a good counter.
Plain and simple Atalanta did not deserve to advance. The Defense is just not good enough at this level. They were lucky to not give up way more than 2 quite frankly.
They were close. And it does suck for us rooting for these Colombianos. But the better team won. (Barely won, but won.)
10 minutes away from beating the most expensive squad assembled in history, still great how far they got. Really though they missed Ilicic and their CB's and midfield against Neymar and Mbappe were completely dusted over an over.
It will take a miracle to beat PSG in Paris. But I don't think Atalanta's defence was bad yesterday. The got tired towards the end, but defensive wise they did ok, specially when they usually don't play like this. Normally Atalanta want to stay in control. Yesterday it looked like Pekerman's tactics. Neymar caused a lot of trouble though.
PSG had 65% of possession and hadn’t played in like 6 months. It was just a matter of time till they clicked and sadly they did in the 87 minute.
Oh, I didnt realize that. Perhaps better for me since yesterday would have felt even worse. I'm clueless about these things because I never read football news, I just watch some matches.
I heard that Atalantas coach going into full defense mode giving the ball to PSG instead of counter attacking like they are used to. he betrayed the teams style
Atalanta had plenty options during all match......at the end they were full tired. ONly neymar earned more than atalantas team. that team is full heroes and all should be proud inclunding gasperini. Respect and Gratitude to that team that make happier my life in this horrible pandemia
I like that tho Team that finishes 1st and has a better record should have home field advantage. especially in something like Europa league where at some point a first place team will play the best 3rd of a champions league group. The bigger club will take it as a joke over two legs.
