Erling Håland stronger than FC Barcelona, ​​Liverpool unleash the attitude of Atlético de Madrid

Håland stronger than Barça

There is only for him! Since Tuesday evening, Erling Braut Håland has been everywhere in the headlines of European newspapers. And rightly so. Author of a splendid double against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, the Norwegian striker is gradually climbing in the hierarchy of the best center-forward on the planet. This morning is the Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti which tells us a crazy and rather funny statistic. The former Molde player has scored 10 goals this season, one more than the entire FC Barcelona team in the 2019-20 campaign. While the Blaugranas have yet to play their first knockout round (it will be next week against Napoli), they have already scored two 0-0 in the group stage. Not very reassuring when we pretend to want to win the Champions League next May.

Jürgen Klopp notably criticized the attitude of the Colchoneros towards Sadio Mané and then the playing style of Diego Simeone’s men. Virgil Van Dijk also went there with his little commentary on how the Spanish play. Before Andrew Robertson plagued Atlético’s joy at the end of the game as if everything had already been won. In 3 weeks, at Anfield, the return promises to be hot and we already salivate in advance!

Italy under the spell of Atalanta

For its first participation in the Champions League, Atalanta is playing without pressure. And it shows ! Last night at San Siro, the Dea made a mouthful of Valencia, 4-1. A demonstration that left all the Italian press spellbound this morning. This result is the fruit of the long-term work of Gian Piero Gasperini, on the bench of the club of Bergamo since 2016. For the Gazzetta dello Sport, this team is simply ” Divine “. For Tuttosport, Atalanta players are ” in Paradise ” this morning. Be careful all the same, the score is wide, but we have already seen sacred reversals of the situation in recent years in the Champions League. Mistrust until the end therefore …
