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 many goals that should have been goals. Hopefully this season Atalanta will return to the UCL or other European zones.
Even though last season Atalanta didn't manage to finish in the European zone, but I also still think it's reasonable because after all Atalanta I can say is not a big team with a lot of money that can do anything. With Atalanta's ability as a team as it is, I think Atalanta is still on a good line in its competition in Serie A and with that, Atalanta will still have a chance to finish the season in the European zone. What's more, as long as the big teams in Italy are still not stable in consistent performance, then Atalanta still has a chance to be the best in the hunt for European tickets for next season.
