Led to the score and long shaken on the lawn of Parma, Atalanta Bergamo reacted and won 2-1 Tuesday during the 37th day of Serie A: it still has resources two weeks before its duel against Paris SG in the Champions League.
The end of the season is a preparation for C1 for Atalanta. There is also a great place of honor to seek, the second, never achieved in the history of the club.
While waiting for the match between Inter Milan (3rd) and Napoli (7th) at 9.45pm, it is the Bergamo club that has settled on the second step of the podium, with two points ahead of Inter and three on Lazio Rome (4th), who will play Wednesday against Brescia.
Gian Piero Gasperini's team, however, seemed breathless for a long time on the lawn of Parma. The matches are linked in the heat and the physical reserves of the Lombard team are starting to run out.
The first period was thus clearly dominated by Parma who logically opened the scoring by the young Kulusevski. He will join Juventus next season and end the season with a cannonball (1-0, 43rd).
Shaken, Atalanta also lost their central defender Palomino on the way, injured and whose absence against PSG would be a blow.
After the break, the "Dea" found a second wind and regained control of the game. She was then rewarded for her resentment by the equalizer on a free kick from Malinovskyi (70th), a formidable hitter.
At the end of the match, captain Papu Gomez scored a nice goal (84th) to turn the game around and offer his team three points.
In the absence of a full tank, the future opponent of PSG is therefore mentally strong. He also brought his streak in a row to 25 by scoring at least one goal, a statistic in the form of a warning for PSG.
