Mentor Atalanta Gian Piero Gasperini commented on the upcoming match with Shakhtar in the group stage of the Champions League.
“Every match in the Champions League is difficult because we play against teams who are used to winning.”
“There are a lot of Brazilians in Shakhtar. In the game against Bologna we saw how good they are. So this match will be a tough test for us.”
The match of the second round of the Champions League between Miners and Bergamaschi will take place today, October 2. The meeting starts at 19:45 Kyiv time. The match will be judged by a team of referees led by Portuguese Joao Pinheiro.
Nominally, the “home” match for the Miners will take place in Gelsenkirchen. Marino Pusic’s team will host their opponents at the Veltins Arena this season.
Let us remind you that in the first round the Miners lost with Bologna (0:0), and Atalanta achieved a similar result in the home match with Arsenal.
