The PSG is warned. 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.
The future adversary of the Parisians in the quarter-finals of the Champions League started the meeting on the hats of wheels, as usual. In the 20th minute, the Bergamasques posted a possession rate of 70% of the time. Completely suffocating the Turinese, they logically took the advantage through Zapata (16th).

At the time, the “Dea” displayed two sides of its offensive 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 did not return to the match until after the break, on a first penalty from Ronaldo, awarded after a hand from De Roon (1-1; 55th).
"We deserved to win"
For 20 minutes, the Atalanta then 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).
"We are a little disappointed because we deserved to win," said coach Gian Piero Gasperini. If the Parisians were already aware that Atalanta is not afraid of anything or anyone, this match is still a good reminder to order.
