Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was left frustrated after his team failed to capitalise on numerous scoring opportunities in what he called a "cursed" 0-0 Champions League draw at home against Celtic on Wednesday.
Gasperini watched his team squander several chances in the draw, including a Mario Pasalic header that hit the crossbar, while they largely prevented Celtic from advancing into their territory."It was a cursed match.
We created so many chances - around 23 shots on goal - but we just couldn’t score," Gasperini told Sky Sport Italy."We dominated for long stretches, keeping Celtic's speedy players away from danger, but we lacked quality in the final third.
We missed that decisive spark, the shot, the final pass, the winning header."In matches like this, those details make all the difference."Atalanta midfielder Pasalic shared his coach's frustration."Unfortunately, we were unable to break the deadlock.
