🚨Confirmed XIs: Athletic face a tough trip to Bergamo | OneFootball

The Gewiss Stadium becomes this Wednesday (17:00 ARG/CHI) the epicenter of a clash of opposing realities in the Champions League. Atalanta, already qualified and in full maturity under the leadership of Raffaele Palladino, seeks the three points to break into the coveted "Top 8". With 13 points and players like Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere in top form, the hosts want to secure their direct passage to the round of 16.

For Athletic Club, the outlook is critical. Positioned in 28th place with only 5 points, the "Lions" are obliged to score in Italy to avoid saying goodbye to Europe. Ernesto Valverde faces this challenge with the significant absence of Iñaki Williams due to a muscle injury, placing the entire offensive burden on his brother Nico Williams.

In a scenario where a draw is not enough for the visitors, Athletic will have to rely on their mystique to stop an Atalanta that seems to have no ceiling.
