In the early morning of April 14, the second leg of the Europa League and Europa League quarterfinals began. One of the biggest underdogs was Frankfurt's away knockdown over La Liga giants Barcelona. In addition to the Barça fans, another group of extremely disappointed, presumably Italian fans. In the early hours of this morning, Atalanta lost 2-0 at home to Bundesliga RB Leipzig, with an aggregate score of 1-3. This also means that Serie A teams have been wiped out in this season's Champions League and Europa League matches.
In the first leg of the two teams, the Serie A True Blue Hacking Field shook hands with RB Leipzig 1-1. In that game, Atalanta had a clear advantage of 19 shots on goal, and although only 1 goal was scored on 4 shots, the 1-1 score away was acceptable. This time back at home, they sharpened their knives and were determined to win. However, in the 20th minute of the game, Leipzig countered the main goal by Nkunku to break the goal and take a 1-0 lead. After conceding the goal, Atalanta counterattacked with all its strength, but it was impossible to score. In the 86th minute, Nkunku made a point in the penalty area and personally scored a penalty to complete the second goal, and Leipzig won 2-0 away to advance to the semi-finals.
This season, Inter, AC Milan, Juventus and Atalanta played in the Champions League, with Juve and Inter qualifying for the group, Atalanta's third group to play in the Europa League, and AC Milan at the bottom of the points to play home. In the knockout rounds, Inter lost 0-2 at home to Liverpool, but a 1-0 away win saved the dignity of the Serie A title, while Juve returned home in the second leg to be beaten 3-0 by Villarreal in a 1-1 draw away from home.
In the Europa League match, Napoli and Lazio joined forces to strike and both teams qualified. However, in the knockout play-offs, Napoli was eliminated by Barca 3-5 on aggregate, Lazio lost to Porto 3-4 on aggregate, and only Atalanta swept Olympiacos 5-1 on aggregate to reach the quarterfinals. However, in the quarter-finals, they failed to cross RB Leipzig, and so far, the Serie A team has not been spared in the Champions League europa league.
The only one who earned back a little face for Serie A was the Red Wolves Army Roma, who were 7th in Serie A last season and coached by the famous mourinho, although they lost 1-2 away to the Norwegian super team Puerto Grint in the first leg, but returned home early this morning, the Backwater Roma team was full of fire, the front double gun Zagnolo and Tamand scored 4 goals, of which Zagnolo also scored a hat-trick, and finally Roma won 4-0, ending a 3 consecutive games against this opponent. The aggregate score was 5-2 to reach the quarter-finals.
It was a classic Mourinho-style victory, with Roma having just 40% of the ball on the ball, but creating as many as 18 shots on goal, including 8 of which scored 4 goals on the spot, and the offensive efficiency was impressive. Bodo Grint, who occupies 60% of the ball, has only 7 shots on goal under roma's tight defense, and the number of shots on target is only a pitiful 1. In this campaign, the 22-year-old Zaniolo became the youngest player in Roma's history to score a hat-trick in a European match, and it was also the first time in his career that he scored three goals in a single game in an official game.
European Champions Italy did not qualify for the World Cup, Serie A teams in the Champions League and Europa League all fell into the sand, Italian football suffered a devastating blow, in this case, Mourinho led roma became the only fig leaf of Italian football, and Zaniolo's outstanding performance, but also let the young Italian team see a glimmer of light. I have to say that Uncle Bird is really an eternal god.
