Club Brugge also passes in Bergamo: Atalanta also eliminated from the Champions League

Atalanta-Club Brugge 1-3

Season to forget for the Italians in the Champions League. After Milan’s elimination with Feyenoord, Atalanta’s also came, falling to a surprise defeat with Club Brugge. After the defeat in the first leg, Retegui and his teammates lost sharply also at the Gewiss Stadium where it ended 3-1 for the Belgians, who mortgaged the qualification after only 45′.

After only three minutes the guests took the lead with Talbi, who slipped Carnesecchi with a precise diagonal from inside the area. Dea responded with Retegui, who found the equalizer in the 17th minute but his goal was disallowed for offside. Ten minutes later Club Brugge doubled again with Talbi who scored an easy tap-in after a great rebound by Carnesecchi on Tzolis. In the final, after an unbelievable triple chance for the hosts, the Belgians even dropped the hat-trick with Jutglà finding the joker with a great left-footed shot from outside.

In the second half Gasperini inserted Lookman who tried to make the partial less bitter, scoring 1-3 after not even a minute of his entrance. The Nigerian striker, however, misses a penalty in the 60th minute. It’s not really an evening for Atalanta, which in the final also remains in 10 due to the expulsion of Toloi: Club Brugge goes to the round of 16.

After the exit of Milan and Atalanta, there remains one last hope among the Italians to reach the Champions League round of 16, represented by Juventus, which, on the strength of the 2-1 first leg with PSV Eindhoven, will have two results out of three at its disposal in the return match in the Netherlands, set for Wednesday at 9 p.m.
