Full-Time: Atalanta 0-0 Celtic – Hoops Gain Vital Champions League Point

On a night when Celtic were expected to buckle under pressure, the Hoops showed remarkable resilience, holding Atalanta to a 0-0 draw in Bergamo.

As the final whistle blew, Celtic supporters could take pride in an impressive defensive display.

From the first minute, Atalanta pressed high, with Mario Pasalic proving a constant thorn in Celtic’s side.

The Croatian’s late runs into the box kept the Hoops’ backline on high alert, but time and again, the defence held firm.

Liam Scales and Auston Trusty were standout performers, making crucial interceptions time and time again.

Celtic’s attacking opportunities were few and far between, with Adam Idah working tirelessly but unable to find the right service.

A late glimpse of a goal came from Kyogo, whose awkward volley drifted onto the roof of the net, much to the relief of the Atalanta defence.

As the Game wore on, Brendan Rodgers made several tactical changes, bringing on experienced players like James Forrest, hoping to inject some creativity into the midfield.

Kasper Schmeichel played a pivotal role, making crucial saves to deny Atalanta’s relentless attack.

His performance, alongside the solid defensive display, meant that Celtic could leave Italy with a hard-earned and deserved point​.

This result, can serve as a building block for the rest of the campaign, with four points from three Champions League matches, with the next two Games both coming at Celtic Park.
