The Nerazzurri have considerably worsened their performance: now even the Champions League is in danger
From the Scudetto Dream to the Champions League in danger: everything has changed for Atalanta in three weeks. The Nerazzurri have gone from playing for their title chances in the game against Inter to the fight for the top four positions: all in the name of discontinuity.
A top class performance in the first half of the season, mid-table songs in 2025: in short, the machine has been demolished.
Three defeats in a row in the competition, 5 games without a goal in the last 7: a more than disturbing statistics, given how the Bergamo team has long been the best attack in the competition.
At home, however, the figures are even more negative. Only 4 points in 7 games, one win – against Sturm Graz – in 10 games in 2025, and especially, a goal was already missing for 415 minutes.
Atalanta, there is something wrong
An alarming situation, a sudden decline, which Gasperini has mainly attributed to a psychological problem. The sky is too heavy near the top of the table, too much pressure, and some players may not have been able to process it.
But Atalanta has the obligation to recover as quickly as possible, because the calendar includes two more than difficult challenges against Bologna and Milan and qualifying for the Champions League is now far from certain.
Champions League now in danger
The big victory in Juventus seemed to be the starting point for a great end of the season, perhaps with the Scudetto in sight. The last three consecutive defeats, instead, scaled the ambitions of the Nerazzurri, which now has to look over their shoulders.
Bologna, Juve, Lazio, Roma and Fiorentina are coming close again, and the gap with the places that are valid for the Europa League is dramatically reduced. The Bergamo team needs a great final to wipe away the gray clouds: first of all, they have to find the certainties from a month ago.
