I was reading the news and just now regarding the European teams that will participate in the Champions League this year it turned out that another club that will participate in the competition is Atalanta who have made another great purchase that will certainly give a great reinforcement to this team so watch out for Atalanta who could do really well or at least make a good progress in these matches, they seem to be a strong team and full of stimuli after the success they had in the Europa League
Atalanta after winning the UEL title last season of course they are already above the average level so they have to prepare everything both in terms of recruiting new players or preparing themselves for the new season in preparation for playing in the UCL next season, apart from that Atalanta will also meet again with Leverkusen where Leverkusen was defeated by Atalanta in the UEL final last season, I'm sure Leverkusen will avenge that defeat if they meet the same group in the UCL next season, Xabi Alonso will certainly not waste this opportunity if in the end the two meet again in UCL next season, it's going to be interesting for both of these teams
Leverkusen is not the only reason why they have to prepare for the new season, because in the Champions League the strength level of the teams they will face will be much different from the ones they faced last season. In the Champions League there are many big names that will be a challenge for them, and not only that, because I also said that those in the Champions League, some of them are much stronger than them.
If they don't prepare well, then they will be a failed team. However, they will also hope for luck, because the result of the draw where they will be will also be very decisive in helping them navigate the new Champions League season. Mentally they also have to be better, because apart from the technicalities of the game, mentality is also very important, especially since this is the Champions League which has a different atmosphere from other competitions. Here the pressure will be much greater.
