They made 6 changes for the Atleti game from their league game the week before. they made 6 changes again today from the team that beat Atletico.
the points lead they’ve built up has certainly afforded them the opportunity to rotate, BUT the team they put out today shouldn’t be losing to Genoa, certainly not in that manner.....they didn’t even have a shot on target.
Incredible race for the final Champions League spot
6 games to go
4th - Milan 55 points 5th - Roma 54 points 6th - Atalanta 53 points 7th - Torino 50 points 8th - Lazio 49 points (1 game in hand - Wednesday night)
Inter should be ok in 3rd with 60 points
Atalanta had a big big chance tonight to go 4th if they’d won, but drew 0-0 with Empoli who are in the bottom 3. Threw everything at it though....32 shots, EIGHTEEN shots on target.

I had backed Atlanta and only leg to let my acca down. The game was unreal according to paddy power they had 43 shots!
Yeah. Some discrepancies over how many shots, seems every site has something different. 47 according to this one.
Either way watching the game I don’t ever remember seeing a goalkeeping performance like it. 17 saves is the official Opta recorded figure. the previous highest this season in Europe’s top 5 divisions was 12

Milan, Roma & Inter drew today, Lazio lost and Torino won Atalanta have another chance to go 4th with a win, again on a Monday night, this time vs Napoli
Huge win for Atalanta tonight, away at Napoli and 1-0 down at half time, came back to win 2-1 Up to 5th, level on points with Milan but behind on head to head record
5 teams still split by just 4 points with 5 games left, all chasing the final CL spot
Originally fancied Lazio to get 4th as they had the easiest run of fixtures but they’ve lost 2 of their last 3. Milan and Roma have the best chance now imo but I’d love Atalanta to make it, they’re such an exciting team to watch but I think with their limited budget a CL spot is their only chance to keep hold of Zapata among others
Wins for Atalanta, Torino (vs Milan), Roma and Lazio this week
Race for the 4th Champions League spot still has those 5 teams separated by 4 points Atalanta now in pole position, 1 point ahead of Roma. With Milan and Torino both just 3 points short
4 games to go....Lazio vs Atalanta this weekend
Top 3 have remained the same for a few months now. Although Atalanta are now just 3 points behind Inter.
The Empoli game was ridiculous. As mentioned here, 47 shots and a record number of goalkeeper saves. Udinese was a very professional performance, one of those games they didn’t play their best but got the job done. Big few weeks for Atalanta, I think everyone at the club along with the fans realise that CL football is likely the only way they keep players like Zapata beyond this year.

18 goals in his last 12 games for Atalanta
Been looking forward to this, not disappointed so far. game of the weekend for me.
I was disappointed to see Hamsik has gone to China but it had been on the cards for a couple of years.
how he has been sacked and Monchi is still there I don’t know
3rd vs 4th. Inter won the reverse fixture 1-0 with a 92nd minute goal.
they made 6 changes again today from the team that beat Atletico.

Great win for Atalanta, I hope they do it but I think Roma will get 4th.
Torino v Milan on Sunday should be good.

is that the Freesports channel?

91st minute Genoa make it 1-1
95th minute Genoa get a penalty and miss
Finishes 1-1 and Atlanta now 4th have a 3 point lead over Roma who sit 5th
