Europa League, second leg semi-finals on TV: Roma for the remuntada, Atalanta starts again with a draw

Milan, 8 May 2024 – An all-Italian final in Europa League? Possible, but undoubtedly complicated. On the one hand the Rome must accomplish a real feat at the home of Leverkusen coming back from a two-goal deficit, inflicting what would be the first defeat of the season for the unbeaten Xabi Alonso. Certainly an easier, but not peaceful, situation for theAtalanta who will play at home againstOlympique Marseille after the 1-1 draw in the first leg. Both matches will be played on Thursday 9 May at 21pm. Let's see the two matches in detail, the probable lineups and where to follow the matches on TV.

Roma without fear, everything in Leverkusen

In the eyes of all Italians, and of the Giallorossi fans in particular, there is still the missed goal from Tammy Abraham header at the end of the first leg. A hypothetical goal that would have alleviated the pain of defeat against the perfect team Bayer Leverkusen and which, therefore, would have made the return match slightly easier. There Rome he showed he can put Leverkusen in difficulty with the crossbar Lukaku, the shot of Pellegrini and the header of Crystalline, then the first goal of the match arrived only thanks to a madness by Rick Karsdorp. The Rossi will also have to prepare the containment as best as possible Jeremie frimpong, a real loose cannon in the right lane. The second network is all the work of Andrich which from the outside made it literally beautiful. The Leverkusen he is unbeaten but not unbeatable, as seen several times in both the Bundesliga and the Cup, the Rome everything must necessarily be played out because it won't be there tomorrow at the Bay Arena. Below are the probable lineups, with The Rossi which will finally resolve any doubts about Paulo Dybala, out due to a strain against the Juventus.

Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-3): Kovar; Stanisic, Tah, Tapsoba; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Adli, Boniface, Wirtz.

Rome (4-3-3): Svilar; Llorente, Mancini, Smalling, Spinazzola; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Lukaku, El Shaarawy.

Atalanta for the first European final

At the Velodrome the goal of mbemba he immediately dampened his enthusiasm after the goal Gianluca scamacca, a real extra man in this European adventure. The French have proven to be a very skilled team in building starting from the center and then letting the wingers run and look Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but extremely vulnerable when the ball is moved very quickly and vertically to the edge of the penalty area. Presumably, a game played at a high pace awaits us, especially if one of the two teams were to take the lead, exactly as happened inAtalanta on the way out. Contain the outbursts of Aubameyang e Sarr, checking for possible overlaps of Luis Henrique e clause will be essential to secure the pass to Dublin. Formations side, Gasperini ready to put the best possible formation back on the field after the turnover with the Salernitana in the championship, so ready Chess, The Ketelaere e koopmeiners in front, but pay attention to Lookman who plays for a starter's shirt. Untouchable DeRoon in midfield and the trio Scalvini, Djimsiti e Kolasinac, while in goal, as always in the cup, he will be there Juan Musso. Below are the probable lineups.

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Musso; Djimsiti, Scalvini, Kolasinac; Hateboer, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners, Pasalic; Scamacca.

Marseille (5-3-2): Lopez; Clauss, Murillo, Mbemba, Balerdi, Luis Henrique; Harit, Kondogbia, Veretout; Sarr, Aubameyang
