This Thursday evening in the Europa League, Atalanta hosted Olympique de Marseille in the semi-final second leg.
And after the first-leg draw, everything was open. The Italians, however, quickly took the reins of the match by multiplying the shots towards the opposing goal.
“A devil dressed as a nerazzurro”
At the half-hour mark, the pressure paid off with a goal from Ademola Lookman. La Dea would then continue to push and Matteo Ruggeri would make it 2-0 in the 52nd minute of play. El-Bilal Touré would for his part set the score at 3-0 in stoppage time.
Author of a new assist on the opening goal, Charles De Ketelaere did much more than that, which earned him praise from the Italian press. “Marseille gives him space, a lot of space. And the Belgian is a devil dressed as a nerazzurro. He escapes, becomes impossible to mark, brushes balls in all directions”, writes Tuttomercatoweb, which gives him a 7.5.
Replaced at the hour mark, De Ketelaere proves that he has the qualities to also shine in big matches. Enough to convince Domenico Tedesco that he can do the same during the next Euro?
