The feat was repeated three and a half years after the previous one, only this time there is a semi-final at stake which seems really close in the wake of the unthinkable 3-0 at Anfield.
Last night, in front of 2,140 people from Bergamo, Atalanta, in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals at home to Klopp's Liverpool, booked the antechamber of their dreams thanks to the solidity of the group and their infallible aim : before Scamacca under the uncertain arms from Kelleher (record double), then from Pasalic in the final.
Milan-Roma instead ends 0-1 at the Meazza : as in the derby with Lazio and on three other occasions it is again a header from defender Mancini that decides the Giallorossi's fate. The push from San Siro, for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, this time is the protagonist and not just a spectator of what happens on the European stage. A week-long break also begins for Roma, before the 90 minutes that count towards the semi-final . For Roma, return without Cristante, disqualified. For Milan, last appeal before the derby which could give the Nerazzurri cousins a second star.
