The Bergamo edition of Friday’s Corriere della Sera has a big article telling Atalanta to dust themselves down after their draw to Celtic, and move on with a spring in their step.
Le Dea have big aims in the Champions League this season and such is the confidence at the club that drawing 0-0 to Celtic has been seen as a big disappointment by some. There was a belief Atalanta are far superior to Brendan Rodgers’ side, especially after Celtic’s heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
To those Atalanta fans having doubts, a message is sent that ‘a performance like the one the other night with Celtic leaves positive feelings’.
It’s stated it ‘won’t happen very often’ that the Serie A side come across a team with the ‘attitude’ Rodgers’ team displayed this week. Corriere della Sera appear to mean that as something of a compliment, saying Celtic manned ‘barricades to the bitter end’, and then insisting this is an entirely legitimate approach to football.
