Atalanta crisis, ❌ goodbye Champions League: De Rossi, Genoa safe ⏳

It ends 0-0 between Atalanta and Genoa, a result that smiles above all on the rossoblù, who are getting ever closer to safety, while further complicating the Bergamo side’s European hopes.

Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa play without fear and start strongly, going close to taking the lead in the opening minutes.

Atalanta respond with a few efforts from De Ketelaere and Krstovic, but fail to make them count.

After the break, Raffaele Palladino’s side raise the pressure and come close to scoring several times, especially through Raspadori, who also hits the crossbar.

Goalkeeper Bijlow also proves decisive, making several important saves.

Despite their territorial dominance, though, La Dea cannot find a breakthrough and have to settle for just one point.

A draw that extends Atalanta’s poor run, leaving them further adrift of the Champions League places and putting their Europa League spot at risk, while Genoa pick up a precious result in the survival race.

❌ DEA WITHOUT A WIN FOR A MONTH

A dark spell for Atalanta, who can no longer find their way back to winning and are seeing their end to the season become increasingly complicated.

Their last victory came on April 6; since then, they have managed only a draw against Roma and two heavy defeats against Juventus and Cagliari, as well as a painful Coppa Italia elimination.
