Drama week complete for Matthijs de Ligt and Juventus after defeat in Italian top match against Atalanta | Football

sport">In the squatter in Italy, Matthijs de Ligt and Marten de Roon competed against each other. Teun Koopmeiners and Hans Hateboer had to settle for a place on the bench. Both teams hoped to achieve a better result on Saturday-evening than earlier this week in the Champions League. De Roon played a draw with Atalanta against Young Boys (3-3), while De Ligt took a huge blow with Juventus against Chelsea (0-4).

sport">After almost half an hour of play, Duvan Zapata opened the scoring in the Allianz Stadium. After the striker got a lot of space from Leonardo Bonucci, he finished off great and shot the visitors ahead: 0-1. De Ligt was also allowed to take the hit. The Dutchman was positioned far behind his defense and thus lifted Zapata’s offside. The sharpness was again lacking at Juventus.

sport">The old lady went on the hunt for the equalizer after the break. De Ligt was very close to making up for his mistake, but the defender saw his effort blocked. Atalanta kept a clean sheet for the remainder of the game and so the drama week for Juventus was complete with another defeat. In the final phase, Teun Koopmeiners joined Atalanta, which last lost in Serie A on 3 October.
