It was a huge attacking display from I Neroverdi who have generally been struggling to create chances throughout the entire season in this term of Serie A.

Gianpiero Gasperini rotated his starting eleven in the mid-week’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Inter Milan and such a decision backfired with Atalanta falling 1-0 on Tuesday night at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
