I was hoping Atalanta would win before the start of the game because they are playing a home game, thinking they will be able to end the game in a draw or even win against Inter Milan so that they will be able to maintain the point difference, but I don’t know why I even had that hope for them, as they just came to the pitch to play what they wish to; if not, just take a look at their performance, especially the second half; they were just playing anyhow, although Inter Milan has given them a big gap. If they are more consistent, then they will not have much threat anymore, both from Atalanta and Napoli, as they also drew their game against Venezia.
In the match against Juventus, we saw Atalanta win 4-0. Juventus' defense is considered the strongest defense in Serie A. Since Atalanta managed to score 4 goals against such a strong defense, many people like me thought that Atalanta's players would play well and win against Inter Milan. The match was also Atalanta's home match. But Atalanta failed to win.
This match was very important for Atalanta and Inter Milan. If Atalanta could win this match, Inter Milan, Atalanta and Napoli would now be on equal points. The battle for the Serie A title would have become more competitive. But Atalanta lost the match. And the team is now 6 points behind Inter Milan.
