Atalanta soars into the Champions League: 2-0 against Stuttgart is worth entering the top eight

Atalanta flies after the 2-0 obtained in Stuttgart. Since Sunday, five goals scored and zero conceded on the difficult pitches of league leaders Napoli and Stuttgart, who were second in the Bundesliga last year. Goddess is undefeated in the Champions League, where they have not yet conceded a goal, and as of tonight they are in the top zone with 8 points and a calendar now to exploit with the away match in three weeks on the field of the Swiss of Young Boys. Golden moment for the Bergamo team: sixth consecutive victory, ninth consecutive useful result since September 28.

The Goddess is making pots up front, with an average always higher than two goals scored per game, and lids behind: since September 28, three goals conceded, one in Bologna and two irrelevant on the 5-0 against Genoa and Verona. The Gasperini philosophy for which the best defense is the attack is also winning because the Goddess in fact never concedes goals. Credit to an excellent goalkeeper, Carnesecchi, who is always reactive when needed, of a defense that changes players but is always an impenetrable wall: in Stuttgart after the defeat of Kolasinac for a problem with the flexor at the back he did very well Kossounou.

On an evening where the changes were decisive once again: The Ketelaere He came off the bench and invented the assist for the usual opening goal Lookman (8 goals since mid-September), Zaniolo entered at the end and scored the second goal, finding his first ever goal in a Nerazzurri shirt. Lots of stuff for Gasperini who is finding responses in turn from all his players, such as Kossounou and Zaniolo.

Now for the Goddess the path in the Champions League is downhill: a Playoff spot it's practically guaranteed, but the goal of flying straight to the eighth finals, entering among the top eight It is realistic to beat the Swiss team Young Boys away in three weeks and then in January the Austrians Sturm Graz in Bergamo. The Nerazzurri are third in the league, in an excellent position in the Champions League and now the calendar is friendly: Udinese at home on Sunday, then after the break two easy away games in Parma and Bern. Atalanta's positive streak can continue.
