Their strength is still not enough when playing in the Champions League and they have to find some players if they want to look strong when competing in the Champions League. Several teams that have much better quality players than Atalanta are also not necessarily able to match other strong teams. Especially Atalanta who overall do not have much more experienced players to face the competition there.
The Champions League is different because it requires experience and mentality so that the strength of the team is also influenced by how experienced the players are. Although sometimes there are several teams that can play until the quarterfinals by relying on makeshift players, but talking about the chances it is very small for them to be able to keep up.
The Champions League is not like the Europa League, which is why it is a significant prize. Only big clubs with enough experience usually get the chance to win the title. Atlanta need to get talented players first before someone can call them a better club because I don't think Atlanta can do anything in the UCL next season and before that Real Madrid and Atalanta will play super Cup champions of UCL and Europa League will play and I am already giving real madrid hope that they will definitely defeat Atalanta without difficulties, because real madrid have everything and are not comparable with Atalanta they need to get key players first before Atlanta does its best With big clubs in the competition. Atalanta try their best to battle all of the clubs in the Europa League and win the trophy, despite the fact that everyone believes Bayern Leverkusen are the favourites to win the title after going unbeaten in the leagues previous season. Atalanta try their best to battle all of the clubs in the Europa League and win the trophy, despite the fact that everyone believes Bayern Leverkusen are the favourites to win the title after going unbeaten in previous season. without losing any game in the leagues.
The competitive level between the Champions League and the Europa League is clearly very different, and perhaps Atalanta journey will not be as lucky as last season. Mentality and experience are the most important factors apart from squad depth, to be able to talk a lot in the Champions League, however, Atalanta deserves respect after successfully winning the Europa League. The Serie A representative can become a dark horse to be reckoned with if he is able to perform consistently. So far Atalanta has been very lucky because Gasperini chose to stay. I thought that after winning the Europa League Gasperini would choose to leave for another club, in fact he rejected several offers, including from Napoli.
Meanwhile, Gasperini certainly understands the bargaining value his team has in the Champions League, they just need to try not to be eliminated too quickly. Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munchen and Arsenal are some of the contestants who have much better squad depth than Atalanta, I think Gasperini really understands all of that. Meanwhile, the UEFA Super League match can be a reference for assessing Atalanta quality in playing in the Champions League later, because Atalanta will face Madrid. Madrid will test Atalanta strength to the limit, it is very likely that Madrid will come out as winners.
Only two club competitions will tell if our predictions are correct. Because in this case, the Real Madrid team is very likely to perform strongly, because Real Madrid defeated Manchester City in the semi-finals last season. So new strikers have entered the team and the squad of players has been strengthened. So when the race for the title starts again, it is only possible to accurately say which team is stronger.
