Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Atalanta
Barcelona are just three points behind leaders Liverpool and are on a six-game winning streak in the Champions League group stage. After losing away to Monaco, Barcelona have recorded wins over Young Boys, Bayern Munich, Red Star Belgrade, Brest and Borussia Dortmund.
In the recent match against Benfica, despite losing 3-1 and 4-2, Barcelona showed their mettle when they had an emotional comeback with 3 goals in the final minutes of the match. Not stopping there, Barca also had a devastating 7-1 victory over Valencia last weekend. That victory helped them continue to nurture their hopes in La Liga and added excitement to the upcoming away match against Atalanta. Barca have won 6 and drawn 1 of their last 7 matches in 2025 and will certainly have confidence before this confrontation. They are showing high form at home when they have won 3 previous home matches in the Champions League and scored 12 goals, also conceding only 1 goal. A victory against Atalanta and an unfavorable result for Liverpool in the match against PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona has the right to top the group stage of the Champions League this season.
Meanwhile, Atalanta still have a lot of work to do to qualify, the Italian team is only 1 point above the group of teams below, currently they have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 1 of the past 7 matches in the Champions League group stage this season. Despite losing 1-3 to Real Madrid in the 6th round, Atalanta showed great determination in the match against Sturm Graz, with Retegui, Mario Pasalic, Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman and Marco Brescianini scoring. Notably, Atalanta are also one of the three teams scoring the most goals in the Champions League this season with 18 goals, while they have only conceded 4 goals. The 2-1 win over Como last weekend also brought some positives, but there is one thing Atalanta need to be very wary of, having failed to win any of their last five European games against Spanish teams. However, the Italian team can still be optimistic with three consecutive victories this season.
