Atalanta, who was last in the third place from the first round to the sixth round tonight (Wednesday), is the second in the eighth final together with Manchester City. The Italians, making their factory debut and no home ground following renovations at the Bergamo Stadium, beat Kharkov 0: 3 over Shakhtar Donetsk (Solomon Manor entered in the 70th minute) and plus a home loss of Dynamo Zagreb 4: 1 to Manchester City skipped from fourth to second place .

A big disappointment for the self-reliant Ukrainians and made careless mistakes on defense, but all the compliments to the Gian Piero Gasparini team who throughout the campaign played its offensive football and eventually came to hire.

This evening started with three teams dreaming of finishing eighth. Shakhtar who entertained Atlanta, knowing that victory would be enough for her; Dynamo Zagreb who needed a home win over Manchester City and the Ukrainians would not beat the Italians; The humble Atalanta, from last place, who needed a surprising victory against Shakhtar and the Croatians against City.

Zagreb was the first to get on the board when the magnificent Danny Olmo conquered ten minutes from the air and gave the Croatian champion 0: 1 equal to an eighth finish as long as the corresponding match ends in the draw. This situation lasted for 24 minutes, until Gabriel Jesus decided to put an end to it. The Brazilian, whose all-season goals were conquered outside of Itihad, added three more with three-pointers between the 34 and 54 minutes. Phil Foden, who opened in the lineup and was excellent, captured the fourth that did the fate of Dynamo Zagreb and transferred all the tension to Kharkov Stadium.

In the 66th minute, after the Ukrainians' gate was disqualified for being different, Atlante also conquered a gate that was not initially approved by the online. The VAR team investigated the incident and after a nerve-wracking minute determined that Tim Kasten's gate was legal and valid. With a lag of 0: 1 and with 20 minutes remaining, Manor Solomon stepped in to try to save his team once again, but the Israeli failed to recover the dramatic demolition in San Siro in the previous meeting.

Shakhtar fell apart, his uncle was stripped of a red card, and by the end of Mario Peschlich and Robin Gossens had twice captured and determined that Inter might not be in the eighth, but another Italian team in black and blue did. With a 0: 3 win, Atlanta will be in the eighth finals for the first time in its history, with Khatar and Solomon settling in the European League.
