If the last two outings – those against Inter and Shakhtar – had offered interesting ideas, despite the “usual” defeat, tonight Young Boys returned to live with the ghosts that had already manifested themselves at the beginning of this Champions League. It’s difficult to break the deadlock against Atalanta, one of the fittest teams in the entire continent (the more than two months of unbeaten history testify to this): in Bern, however, Magnin’s men faded away too soon to hope for the feat , then sinking to 6-1. Having passed halfway, therefore, the time has not yet come to unlock the desolate zero in the rankings.
And to say that the very first minutes of the game – despite the immediate stamp of public enemy number one, Retegui – suggested something else. Yes, because the cheeky attitude of the Bernese team was rightly rewarded with a goal, the 1-1 by Ganvoula, which encouraged their opponents to grow and give their best. Worse, however, was difficult for Von Ballmoos to do. A duck from the captain, surprised by De Ketelaere, thus started the Bergamo goleada, facilitated by the substantial inadequacy of the entire back pack. To the delight of Kolasinac, the two aforementioned attackers (both of whom scored once again) and Samardzic, whose spectacular serpentine requires no comment, for better or for worse.
To complete the perfect evening for the Lombard teams, Inter could not miss the shout, also – like the other Nerazzurri – still unbeaten. Thanks to the 1-0 home win over Leipzig, eliminated by an own goal from Lukeba, Sommer and his teammates see the round of 16 approaching. And they do it from above, up there in front of everyone at least for one night: tomorrow evening it will be Liverpool’s turn to respond.
