Atalanta Disaster: Juric's team, after coming back to beat Leipzig with two monstrous goals, crashes dramatically in Germany against newly-promoted Cologne in the Bundesliga.
4-0 for the Germans despite Juric's top lineup: a flop that, despite the difference in preparation with Cologne ahead by a few days, still leaves room for reflection.
Atalanta's German trip is a flop that no one is saved from: the black afternoon begins just before half an hour when Ederson, almost always impeccable, loses the ball and triggers Thielmann's goal.
At 31' Atalanta is still uncovered and Cologne easily sinks. Kaminski, with a right-footed shot, makes it 2-0.
At 58' the scenario worsens: the Goddess is literally still and Thielmann, launched alone towards the goal, puts Carnesecchi to sleep and scores.
The challenge is closed at 66' on a penalty: unusual curiosity for a friendly: Juric kept the starting players on the field for almost the entire game, rotating only at the end.
ATALANTA (3-4-2-1)Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Scalvini; Bellanova, Éderson, De Roon, Zappacosta; De Ketelaere, Pašalić; Maldini.
