Atalanta last season went very badly, but it happens.
As a fan I understand and do not make problems of this.
This season will go better, they are first but the data is partial: it depends on which matches they played, maybe they were simple compared to the others.
Atalanta have been very dangerous for several years only bad luck not going to the champions league this season. Even Pep when playing against Atalanta praised the Atalanta team and even lost a lot of goals. Hopefully this season Atalanta will return to the UCL or other European zones.
