BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “All teams have some weaknesses, but Barcelona is always a pleasant team to watch, Flick has done an extraordinary job, they score a lot of goals, they don’t just have great talent, they have a chorus. Do the big clubs struggle in the new Champions League? Some of it is the formula, some of it is the ranking, the calendar is not the same for everyone, it has matured this ranking that makes everything more uncertain.” Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said this on the eve of the match against Barcelona. “We never set goals at the beginning,” the Nerazzurri coach told Sky Sport microphones, “we start playing and then we see. We are not conceited in our goals, nor are we too humble in facing the competitions. Maybe we could have had that extra point or two that would have been useful to us now, initially we would have signed to get to the playoffs. At the last we are still here, Barcelona is a very difficult obstacle, but we will try to make the most of the opportunity tomorrow as well.” There will be no Ademola Lookman, for the striker long stop. “More or less what was expected, it had been a few games since he had taken this contusion with Napoli, yesterday at the resumption he had discomfort, the prognosis is that, hopefully it will be less long. Back on the market? I don’t know, but I don’t think three days before the market the situation can change.” – Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS)
