Atalanta comes as the great surprise of the competition, showing a challenging style of play and a lot of offensive display .
The pace of the Atalanta stayed after resuming Italian
football and finished as third in the Serie A. However, the team of Gian Piero
Gasperini's team in their last five games just had two successes, two draws, and
one loss; showing that against strong teams it can get into complications and
more if it comes to keeping the goal is zero. In such a manner, the team Italian
received Cinco goals in their last five games and only kept an unbeaten goal in
a single game. A significant issue with the offensive power of PSG.
Neymar is truly outstanding on the planet, he is a
problem for everyone. The most ideal approach to defend is that we play well,
forcing them to defend would be perfect. “We will try to contain him with our
organization ”, declared Gian Piero Gasperini to local media.
For its part, PSG comes with a very different version: It
was Ligue 1 boss after the sporting break forced its untimely end. Since then
he has just played friendly matches and two cup finals; the principal won the
Saint Etienne 1-0 with goals from Neymar, but suffered declining Kylian Mbappé, and the most recent was against Olympique of Lyon where he won the penalty
shootout. In this last game, he showed a very poor version of what the painting
directed by Thomas had been Tuchel.

against Atalanta, who is one of the great sensations of the championship.
