As the Euro approaches, the two Red Devils Charles de Ketelaere and Romelu Lukaku still have a great goal in their sights with their club: reaching the final of the Europa League. This evening, Atalanta faces Marseille in the semi-finals of the Europa League in a clash that promises to be heated. The young Belgian Charles de Ketelaere will play a match in the last four of a European competition for the first time in his young career. If he is not yet guaranteed to start the match, his coach Gian Piero Gasperini will probably not do without him and will surely bring him in during the match.

The young 23-year-old striker who failed to win at AC Milan is having a very good second half of the season with Atalanta. With 7 goals and 6 assists, the one we call “CDK” has completely succeeded in finding a place in the “Orobici” game. Placed as a leading attacker alongside Scamacca or Lookman, De Ketelaere, due to his versatility, can also play at number 10. The Italians are having a very good run on the European scene having successively eliminated Sporting Portugal, current leader of the Portuguese championship as well as the legendary club Liverpool. Atalanta will not have an easy task this Thursday when they travel to the Vélodrome which is preparing to have a big night atmosphere…
Romelu Lukaku, for his part, has more experience and recently experienced one of the biggest disappointments of his career by losing the Champions League final to Manchester City last season. After having nicely eliminated AC Milan in a 100% Italian double confrontation in the quarter-finals, it is Bayer Leverkusen who face the Romans in the last four.
It will not be an easy task for the teammates of “Big Rom” who face no less than the only team invincible in all competitions since the start of the season. Being trailed several times in their last matches, Xabi Alonso’s men have always managed to equalize and thus maintain their “invincible” status. Three games away from a historic treble, the Germans will not do As Roma any favors.
