MANCHESTER
Atalanta caresses the solitary top of group F of the Champions League for more than an hour, with a great match at Old Trafford, the “theater of dreams”. To awaken it is a Manchester United in crisis, yes, but full of champions. In the lead Cristiano Ronaldo, who with 9 ‘from the end of the head crowns the comeback of the Red Devils, from 0-2 to 3-2. Pasalic unlocks the first time at Old Trafford and Demiral (replaced by Lovato upon returning from the tunnel) gets his head jumping with his bruised right thigh, but upon returning from the tunnel the comeback trio Rashford-Maguire-Ronaldo has the best of a team in decline throwing in the head that of Solskjaer, able to get out at a distance and with more spare parts. Atalanta’s departure was immediately fired, despite the many absences. At the quarter of an hour, the happy intuition of the Slovenian champion finds Zappacosta ready to serve from the back for the split of the Croatian in the small area: it is 0-1. Musso takes care of the advantage, raising Fred’s left-handed blow for a corner to the twentieth, then the peremptory squash of the Turkish international, very decisive in correcting Koopmeiners’ corner in 2-0.
In the second half Rashford reopens the challenge and 5 minutes and it is the same wood that prevents McTominay’s 2-2 trailing behind Greenwood. On the 26 ‘it is De Gea, with foot and gloves, to oppose the claims of Zapata, launched from the out by Zappacosta, and Malinovskyi from a distance. Wrong goal, 2-2 taken, by the English captain, stationed in front of the far post, taking advantage of Cavani’s veil on the developments of United’s sixth corner ten from 90 ‘. Koopmeiners does not take advantage of Duvan’s back pass and Bruno Fernandes (35 ‘) slams into Musso returning on the left, but CR7 takes the lift called by Show and the remuntada is complete. For the qualification, however, the games remain open.
