CM: The final chance in the toughest exam – Fonseca put to the test in Atalanta clash | OneFootball

There are not many AC Milan fans who still believe that the Scudetto is realistic, though a few may change their mind with a win over Atalanta tonight.

As Calciomercato.com recall, Paulo Fonseca spoke very highly of the Atalanta model and their head coach Gian Piero Gasperini in his pre-match press conference, and with good reason.

On May 22nd at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, La Dea raised the Europa League trophy to the sky against a team – Bayer Leverkusen – that had not lost all season. Tonight, they come into the game having won eight in a row.

Milan have not hidden their desire to win the Scudetto, while Atalanta are a team that are actually a serious candidate rather than it being a dream. They are one point off top spot, and there are nine points between the Rossoneri and the Bergamo club.

The most widespread feeling on the eve of this match is that the match has a higher value for Milan. In the event of a defeat, Milan would slip to -12 from Atalanta and possibly to -13 from Napoli, fully removing possibility of winning the title and the second star.
