Anyway, Atalanta must minimize defeats if they intend to survive and also because the intensity of their training must be increased from now on.
Don't underestimate Atalanta, if you see their path they are a very tough team to face. The match against Real Madrid was mentioned, but just look at how he did in the Europa League.
They weren't all bad opponents and so in my opinion he has the chance to do very well. Of course I don't think he'll reach the semi-finals
The Europa League is different again from the Champions League especially now with the new format I think it will be even tighter while we know Atalanta so far in Serie A are still bad they lost to Inter Milan badly and lost again to Torino.
Not underestimating Atalanta but the reality is it will be more difficult but I see the fixture with Arsenal will be more complicated than before with Leverkusen during the Europa League final.
So far there are no big expectations from Atalanta, considering some of the teams they sold of course the squad now will be different from before, but I want to see the action to see how far Atalanta go in the Champions League.
Atlanta was indeed able to surprise us last season by beating Liverpool and Leverkusen to win the European League, but to repeat this success is not an easy thing in this season, last season Atlanta was eliminated from the Coppa Italia, while in Serie A they not hope of being able can to get it scudetto from the beginning, so indeed Atlanta main focus at that time was to win the European League.
The European league is indeed a league under the auspices of Uefa just like the Champions League, but I think we have a different intensity and atmosphere of the match here, so that when Atlanta which able to win the Europa League last season but there is no guarantee if they will capable far to run in the Champions League this season, since the beginning of the Champions League match, every team will get a strong opponent or equivalent because the Champions League filled by the best team in Europe and that is different from the Europa League which only contained a few big teams so far.
