Inter Once Again Confirm to Be Atalanta Worst Nemesis | OneFootball

Atalanta were once defeated by Inter, failing to grab a positive result that could have swung the title race on Sunday. It’s the final direct confrontation between the three contenders. Plus, La Dea has a tougher schedule compared to the Nerazzurri and Napoli.

As Tuttomercatoweb points out, the Orobici were beaten by their Lombardy cousins for the ninth time in a row. Gian Piero Gasperini has been able to figure out and top all sorts of opponents but this one. The Bergamaschi are now six points below the league toppers. They’ll try to mount a comeback, but the main focus will be to defend a top-four finish.

Atalanta and the coach will have to decide whether to stick together for the final year of his contract, as the gaffer stated he didn’t want to renew it. The possible partying of the ways would be amicable.

Gasperini dished on the matter in the post-game presser (via Sky).

Our Take on Atalanta, Gasperini, and Inter

Simone Inzaghi has been the best at turning La Dea’s aggression against them. Several teams have tried, some occasionally managed, but it takes the right players and major concentration and commitment to do it so regularly. It’s unfortunate that it happened again, as the title race would have been spicier with a different result. As for the boss, things might be aligning for him to finish his career at Juventus.
