UEL Player ratings: Atalanta 0-0 Celtic – Scots hold uninspiring hosts | OneFootball

Atalanta were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Celtic in their third Champions League match of the season on Thursday evening. Here are the player ratings from the trying stalemate in Bergamo.

Atalanta

Carnesecchi 6.5 – Just the two shots on target to deal with in the end, but the Atalanta ‘keeper was alert and did the job he was tasked with.

Djimsiti 6.5 – Almost played the De Roon role of stepping out of the back-line to provide another option in midfield. No major issues on the defensive side of things.

Hien 6.5 – Didn’t really put a foot wrong all game – a fairly solid performance in a game that was quite end-to-end at times.

Kolasinac 6 – A surprise return to the starting line-up given his absence in Serie A over the weekend, but the former Arsenal man put in a routine performance, relatively sound.

Bellanova 5 – One or two decent first-half crosses, but wasn’t able to break past the Celtic back-line on the run and was eventually taken off after 57 minutes.

De Roon 6 – Did his usual job at the base of the midfield in possession. Not an enormously exciting performance, but far from disastrous.

Ederson 6.5 – One of Atalanta’s better players on the night, there was plenty of energy as usual, some decent balls forward and a first-half recovery challenge on Kühn that proved to be vital. Less impactful in the second half.

Zappacosta 6 – Covered a lot of ground on the night, but was a touch wasteful with some of his crossing and decision making.

Pasalic 5 – Missed two of Atalanta’s best chances of the night, either of which he might have tucked away on a different night.

Retegui 5.5 – Something about the Champions League hasn’t quite clicked for the Italy international. Leading the way in Serie A, but still without a goal in Europe. Subbed off with Bellanova less than an hour in.

Lookman 6 – Summed Atalanta’s performance up: No shortage of energy and tried to make things happen, but wasn’t quite able to make it work. Celtic always seemed to swarm him in the end.

Celtic

Schmeichel 6.5; Johnston 6, Trusty 7, Scales 7, Valle 6; Engels 6, McGregor 6, Hatate 6.5; Kühn 6.5, Idah 5, Hatate 6.5.
