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 did very well in the last Europa league competition for sure but champions league? It's a completely different ball game entirely. Compared to the UCL, I would say the Europa is alot easier to scale through the stages. The UCL on the other hand, you're more likely to lose out at any stage of the competition because the stakes and very high and almost all teams there are top tier teams — at your level or above it. As much as I'd love to see an underdog like Atalanta or Leipzig to win, I don't think we'll get it in the upcoming season.
The Champions League is the most difficult competition among other competitions and as we know, Atalanta may have difficulty competing there and become the underdog club in the UCL later, although actually no one knows about the surprises that will happen like last season where Atalanta was not really the favorite in the UEL but the club is capable of winning this prestigious title, but in the UCL I am not sure Atalanta will be able to beat strong UCL candidates such as Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal Liverpool and many other strong and experienced clubs.
Likewise with Leverkusen, the two clubs between Atalanta and Leverkusen will play in the UCL next season. They were strong contestants in the UEL last season but I doubt they will be able to reach the highest level in the UCL considering the very tight competition here
