Hey I have checked the matches that Atalanta will play in the Champions League where they do not have a schedule to face Liverpool in the first round. Just check the match table where in 8 matches Atalanta only faced Arsenal, Shakhtar, Celtic, Vfb, Young Boys, Real Madrid, Strum and Barcelona. So the strongest opponents that Atalanta will face are of course several teams so they have to really focus if they want to advance to the next round.
On the other hand Liverpool is also very strong because so far they have shown an increasingly improving game under the guidance of Arne Slot. So there are many matches that they will play in the Champions League this season, I hope Salah et al can bring many surprises by defeating their opponents.
I don't think Atalanta is one of the teams that most interests me in the Champions League this season, but about Liverpool, yes.
Liverpool have improved under their new coach this season, but it is still too soon to give him much confidence. The Champions League is always difficult and not easy to predict, but there is optimism about Liverpool progressing to the last 16 considering the opponents they will face.
Leverkusen is one team that actually caught my attention. Their performance has declined in the Bundesliga, but they have time to improve it. Especially in the Champions League, Leverkusen is expected to play well and present some surprises, but they are not my favorites to be at least in the quarter-finals.
Some teams are certainly the main focus in the matches they will play, Atalanta or Leverkusen are certainly a big concern because these two teams are newcomers who are full of ambition to repeat the good performance they did last season. But don't forget the strong teams that are ready to provide a stronger challenge for newcomers. I think the teams from the premier league this season are much stronger compared to other leagues but also don't consider them weak. From Laliga Barcelona's performance this season is also very good, of course they have not escaped our attention. Especially their coach who has experience, he will be able to bring many changes to the team.
