Atalanta still has a big chance to turn things around in the second leg because they will play at home.

The defeat against Club Brugge was not surprising because Atalanta's game was much better, especially after being 1 goal behind, they continued to pressure Club Brugge, but in the final minutes of the match, Club Brugge was a little lucky from the counterattack they did which ended in a penalty, this is something in football that cannot be predicted even though if you look at the whole game, Atalanta is clearly better.

Atalanta lost the match by a narrow margin of 2-1. Atalanta still has a chance to qualify for the next round. However, I don't think it will be easy for Atalanta.

I don't think Atalanta's overall performance was very strong. If atalanta performs like this in the second leg match , Atalanta will not be able to win the match. club Brugge's defense is strong. So if they want to break this defense , Atalanta's attacking players will definitely h ave to perform better.

Although Atalanta was able to hold Barcelona in the previous match, it did not guarantee them an easy win against Club Brugge, they actually lost to a very underdog team and their statistics were not very good either. However, this is the UCL league competition, anything can happen, interestingly both Serie A representative teams Atalanta and Ac Milan failed to win in the first round even though in terms of quality their two opponents were below them, but I am sure both Serie A representatives will make a comeback in the second leg.

Atalanta, although they could not win, should have been able to hold a draw if the referee had not given a penalty in the final minutes. I am not an Atalanta fan, but in my opinion it was not a penalty, the decision to give a penalty was very controversial, but the Atalanta player was also careless, he managed to grab the ball but his hand was still swung towards the opponent's face. However, if you look at the replay, the hand that hit the opponent's face was not that hard.

With this defeat, Atalanta must fight harder in the second leg which will be played in front of their own supporters. Atalanta must be able to score a quick goal in order to make a comeback because of course in the second leg Club Brugge will implement a full defensive strategy.

Of course it is very sad to see Atalanta have to bow down to Club Brugge because statistically the Italian representative should have been able to win the match. Yes, this is the Champions League, especially with a new format so it is not easy for anyone to analyze every match played. But even though they lost, I still hope Atalanta can advance to the next round.

Yes, Atalanta lost the match played in Belgium, but the last Europa League champion can win this match in Italy in the return leg. We all remember how effective he was against Leverkusen in the Europa League final last year. Atalanta can sometimes play high-tempo matches very easily. I think they will beat Belgian team Club Brugge in the return leg and advance to the next round.
