AJAX-ATALANTA 0-1

Gollini 7 – Brobbey passes the ball to him in the 45th, luckily sending the center back. The only mistake comes in the third minute of recovery, when the situation is already downhill. But save with his feet the possible equal on Klaassen: decisive.
Toloi 6.5 – In defense he almost never lets go, giving a hand to mark Tadic.
Rosemary 6.5 – In hot air balloons it’s second to none, Brobbey has bread for his teeth and while he can’t move it, he sometimes anticipates it dryly.
Djimsiti 6 – The worst of his first half is a hoe on the ground, which has no effect. But then he goes on and on, playing even more unscrupulously. But also with a back pass that runs the risk of giving Ajax an advantage.
Hateboer 6 – Tadic on his side could be a risk, he has to cushion it without worries in the first half.
Freuler 7 – Less architect than usual, at least in the first half, because opponents usually have the ball and the intention is probably to put the problems under the rug. Loot the advantage sphere, also signing the assist.
De Roon 6.5 – He arrives on time for the appointment with the ball, on the 20th, but with one leg too far from the body to unlock the game. For the rest, it is a background performance, the usual.
Gosens 6.5 – Antony is a bad customer and a couple of times he runs dry. When he leaves the Brazilian in Djimsiti he must try to target Mazraoui who puts his body in him (from 79 ‘Palomino sv).
Pessina 7 – It moves between the lines, just like Pasalic would. He is the key player, he also creates superiority and looks for Zapata. With tactical sagacity but also with skill.
Gomez 6.5 – It was a special week, everyone knows it. And no one wants to leave with the accelerator pressed more than him, even going to press Onana alone. As usual, it acts as a base for the offensive phase, although the balls are few. With a blink of an eye, Gravenberch’s second warning is earned.
Shoe 5 – Some run at breakneck speed, a couple of unsold balls at the right time, but also the bench to De Roon who could send him to the net. In the second half, however, he practically never manages to maintain possession (from 79 ‘ Muriel 7 – Missed the goal of the possible advantage over the ball of Gómez, just entered. But then Freuler sends it to goal and deposits it in the net for victory).

Gasperini 7 – “I have not seen many 0-0 in the Champions League.” He’s close to subverting his prophecy, but then Muriel counterattacks the lead and can handle the final minutes with ease.
