On the first day of the Champions League, Atalanta suffered a significant defeat against PSG, falling on the 4-0 score. Despite this result, Atalanta coach Ivan Juric chose not to openly criticize his team, highlighting the difference in level between the two teams. Juric acknowledged that the MTP was at a higher level, making the task particularly difficult for his team. This defeat highlights the challenges that Atalanta is facing in the face of major European clubs, while stressing the coach’s willingness to maintain positive morale and focus on continuous improvement.

For his part, PSG coach Luis Enrique was satisfied with the match and the performance of his team. He particularly praised the pace imposed from the first few minutes, the creation of goal opportunities and the enthusiastic reaction of the supporters. Enrique stressed the importance of this initial victory and the need to continue the long-term work, focusing on the progressive improvement of each game phase. He said that the quality of the players allowed to anticipate a smooth run of the competition and to satisfy the fans.

However, this victory was tarnished by an injury by João Neves, a Portuguese midfielder of the PSG, who had to leave the field before the hour due to a muscle alert to the left thigh. Although coach Luis Enrique preferred not to expand on the subject, there was evidence that Neves should take examinations to assess the severity of his injury. His participation in Next Sunday’s Classic, a game particularly important to him because it was on the terrain of the Vélodrome that he scored his first goal with the PSG, remains uncertain.
