Atalanta wasted the advantage twice and Cristiano Ronaldo punished them twice, signing the 2-2 in the final mockery for Gasperini’s team. Atalanta faced the Red Devils on an equal footing in the fourth day for group F of the Champions League but suffered yet another comeback with the English after the 3-2 knockout in the first leg. The English lead the group with 7 points with Villarreal who beat Young Boys, and Atalanta move to 5 points, while Young Boys remain last with 3 points.
The ManUtd starts well and on 5 ‘hits the post with a shot from the edge by McTominay with a deviation but at 12’ Atalanta passes: great action by Zapata who enters the area, passes the ball to Ilicic who kicks from the edge and De Gaea gets scoffed under the body. Zapata then almost doubled on two occasions, but in the 46th minute the equal of the English arrived: Bruno Fernandes after an action maneuvered in speed serves as a heel to free Ronaldo who bags from two steps for the 1-1.
Gasperini’s team did not break down and in the 58th minute took the lead again with Zapata. Atalanta controls the reaction of Manchester and still touches the goal with Zapata and Muriel but in the 91st minute suffers the mockery, great right from the edge of Ronaldo and 2-2 final.
