far from it
Inter were beaten home and away by Hapoel Beer Sheva in the 2016 UEFA cup group stages ( the first time they had ever been beaten home and away in Europe in the one tie) so with that as a benchmark it could be argued albeit with a bit more investment the side has improved under his tenure

Just the 7 goals for Atalanta today.

Ciccio Caputo puts Sassuolo ahead against Brescia in an empty stadium, the suspension is going to come at a bad time for him

Ciccio with a cracking second goal :clap:

Boga dribble from near halfway and nice finish to make it 3-zip

2017 was some year for them with the intake in players sold. About €145 million.
What did they invest that on?

It’s a remarkable story, year on year their best players leave and they keep coming back on a fraction of the budget.

They bought their stadium off the council as well a few years back and are currently upgrading it which is why their CL games are in the San Siro at present. Think they are now one of only 4 Serie A clubs who own their own stadium.

I remember Atalanta losing a European game to Merthyr Tydfil in the 80s . They still went through iirc

Not too worried about social distancing in Naples tonight

I see Juventus are eight points clear in the Mickey Mouse League, coasting to 9 in a row.

Zaniolo back on the scoresheet last night six months after rupturing his cruciate.

The guy is an absolute machine.

At the turn of the century Lazio, Roma, Inter, Milan, Parma and Juventus were all serious contenders. Fiorentina were handy outsiders too.

Now there’s a team winning 9 in a row, most of them at a canter. Talk about a fall from grace.
