Rome (AFP)

Paris SG is notified. At times impressive and never intimidated, Atalanta Bergamo went for a 2-2 draw on Saturday in game 32 at Juventus, saved only by two penalties from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Good draw or bad draw for PSG? It is in any case probably a little easier now to get an idea of ​​the value of the future opponent of Parisians in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

A clue came in the 20th minute of the match, when the possession rate was posted: on Juventus' court, Atalanta had had the ball more than 70% of the time!

After five difficult minutes, the Bergamasques actually literally asphyxiated Juventus and logically took the advantage by Zapata (16th).

At the time, the "Dea" displayed two sides of its attacking potential: the genius of its captain "Papu" Gomez, who eliminated De Ligt with a feint then a pass from the outside, then the power of Zapata, who left Bentancur on the buttocks.

Juve was really in pain. She returned in the match after the break, on a first penalty from Ronaldo, awarded after a hand from De Roon (1-1; 55th).

For 20 minutes, the Atalanta sought its breath. She found him with the entries of Muriel and Malinovskiy, author of the goal of 2-1 with a superb dry strike from the right (81st).

Gian Piero Gasperini's team then seemed to be on their way to a sixth victory in a row and to second place in the ranking.

But Juventus were saved from a second straight defeat by another hand, that of Muriel. Ronaldo pulled hard in the small net and the Turinese saved a point (2-2, 90th).

- Roma quietly -

It is expensive, because Lazio Rome (2nd) meanwhile lost against Sassuolo (2-1). Six days before the end, the Turinese are eight points ahead of Lazio and nine over Atalanta. Inter Milan (4th) will return to the height of Lazio in the event of success against Torino on Monday.

Lazio in any case is going through a dark period. with three losses in three matches. This horrific streak against AC Milan, Lecce and Sassuolo has most likely ended his hopes for scudetto.

Inzaghi will have to find solutions but the last matches of his team are worrying. Lazio is tired, its leaders (Immobile, Milinkovic-Savic, Acerbi) are suffering and do not weigh, and the sidelines do not help.

"Unfortunately, it's not Lazio before the confinement and it shows. We give everything, but it's not enough," regretted the Italian coach.

"We may have talked too much about us lately. Today, talking about scudetto is risky. We have to believe in it to the end but we are in a delicate moment," he added, regretting to having to "always put the same nine or ten players on the field".

In the other match of the day, AS Rome (5th) logically beat Brescia (3-0). This success is important for the Giallorossi since their two competitors for 5th place, Naples (6th) and AC Milan (7th) meet on Sunday at the San Paolo stadium.

This 32nd day was also marked by the first case of coronavirus identified in Italian football since the resumption of competition exactly a month ago.

A member of the staff of Parma, who has to play Sunday against Bologna, has indeed been tested positive. Asymptomatic, it was placed in isolation.

"The club specifies that all the other members of the team-group have been tested negative and have started isolation at the Sports Center. They will be able to continue their activity normally and will be followed continuously, in accordance with the protocol in force," said the club. .
