Reminder of the wage bill battle
Atalanta seasonal wage bill: €56m
Arsenal season wage bill: €190m
Gasperini has made this team competitive since 2016 while having a fraction of the budget of the big teams he goes toe to toe against
The way Arsenal defends when Atalanta is attacking shows how much respect Gasperini and his team have gained over the last couple of years. A great Atalanta so far against one of the strongest teams in the world #UCL
Full Time: Atalanta 0 Arsenal 0

4 - Since their debut in the competition (2019/20), #Atalanta have remained unbeaten at least once in #UCL against 4 different English sides (Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal): only Bayern M. (5 different English clubs) have done better in the period. Ok
