Atalanta, Mateo Retegui makes no peace about the mistake

For the Dea striker, it was his absolute debut in Champions

.

Retegui was so keen to treat himself to a special night. For him, it was his Champions League debut. It was a dream come true thanks to Atalanta, which picked him up from Genoa in the summer. The Azzurri national è took the field with a great charge, playing really well (as pointed out by coach Gasperini at the end of the match).

Unfortunately, his performance è was marred by the double mistake on the occasion of the penalty kick in the second half. First he è had the penalty parried by Raya. Then, on the rebound, he è failed to head the ball into the box, thanks to the second feline leap of the Arsenal goalkeeper.

When è was substituted, Retegui began to shake his head. He could not believe he had thrown away such a sensational double chance: "I could have done better on the rebound. The goalkeeper made a great save but on the second ball I was wrong. I didn't see him s'è get up quick and fast", his post-match remarks to Sky Sports.

A pity, although Retegui the Champions League exam he passed it. Good in hand-to-hand duels and in serving his teammates, he showed that he can be very useful in the Champions League as well. Now head to the championship. Monday night, also at Gewiss Stadium, comes Como. Retegui wants to forget soon the double mistake with Arsenal and get back to celebrating a goal. Como on notice.
