Atalanta curse their schedule as Celtic see one thing go wrong for red hot Champions League rivals.

Red-hot Champions League foes Atalanta criticise their schedule as Celtic witness one mishap.

Celtic’s European rivals are playing incredibly well, leaving Atalanta to regret the most recent international break.

After the domestic football break, Brendan Rodgers and his team prepare for matchday three of their Champions League league phase

journey against the Serie A team. The Hoops started off the schedule perfectly, defeating Slovan Bratislava 5-1 at a sold-out Parkhead.

However, they were met with a sobering reminder of the calibre of competition at the highest level when they suffered a 7-1 crushing at

the hands of Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund, who defeated the Scottish champions.

Despite not being at the top of their game, they recovered from a goal down to claim the three points at the weekend due to a late

winner from Nikolas Kuhn. They stayed at the top with Aberdeen, continuing their flawless record.

After crushing Genoa 5-1 on their home pitch over the weekend, Atalanta themselves went on the goal chase. In a huge message to the

Scottish champions ahead of their arrival later this month, Mateo Retegui was a hat-trick hero in Bergamo. Gian Piero Gasperini, the

team’s manager, acknowledged that the break comes at the worst moment as they come off a huge Serie A victory and a 3-0

Champions League victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the middle of the week.

The Atalanta manager stated, “Obviously, it was a great performance,” in an interview with DAZN. We defeated Shakhtar and are

currently enjoying a winning streak, but we still have games like the one against Como where we completely collapse. We play every

three days, so there will inevitably be moments when we lose steam, but on nights like this one, we can battle anyone.”

He said, “It’s not the best timing,” during the break. We showed well against Arsenal and Fiorentina even before to Como, so there has

been a noticeable development. The outcome frequently has a negative impact on how the performance is read.

“It takes time to acclimatise our ten recent newcomers. Playing more will make it easier.
