Champions League, Celtic blocks Atalanta'Atalanta

At the Gewiss Stadium ends 0-0 the match of the third day of the Champions League between Atalanta and Celtic of Glasgow.

After the first few minutes of study, on 9’ De Roon misses Kuhn but Ederson unravels everything. On 13’ Zappacosta’s cross on which Retegui misses by a whisker. On 18’ Pasalic’s header that ends up on the inside of the crossbar and falls back in, the Croatian sends the tap-in just high.

On 24’ again Pasalic shoots at a sure shot but Schmeichel in two times tells him no. At 26’ Retegui for Zappacosta who sends just high. Same for Pasalic, who on Zappacosta’s cross sends his header high. At 44’ Johnston miraculously anticipates Lookman just a step away from the goal, then Retegui’s header forces Schmeichel to clear.

Resume. At 50’ Celtic’s chance with Valle from outside the box, Carnesecchi deflects for a corner. At 56’ Hien’s esta shot just wide. At 58’ Schmeichel deflects a shot by De Roon. At 66’ the Danish extreme defender blocks a weak right-footed shot from a good position by De Ketelaere, who entered in place of Retegui. Despite Atalanta trying hard, it ends 0-0 in Bergamo.
