Atalanta are a goal up against Valencia. Really hope they win. One of the most entertaining teams in Europe right now.
Any of their players in particular to keep an eye on?
Josip Ilicic has to be one of the best forwards in Europe right now. Incredibly entertaining player. Plays as a ten normally but he has stepped up a bit in the field to play more like a striker because they struggle with injuries. Duvan Zapata was the best player in Serie A last year for me but he's been missing a lot of this season. Ilicic was replaced by Alejandro Gómez who has been really good as a playmaker. Luis Muriel has had a good season up front too.
Mosty it's about the team though. They attack better than anyone in Italy with a wide range of combinations. Gasperini has to get most of the cred, because he has shown that he can get any players to play this way. He gets them to perform as a unit despite having basically no budget and being forced to sell off star performers to competing teams. There's a bit of Wenger about him.
