PSG vs Atalanta: Champions League preview

Gian Piero Gasperini was the making of Atalanta. In nine seasons in charge, Gasperini was named Serie A Manager of the Year twice and won the Europa League in 2023-24.

It was La Dea's first European trophy and their historic pinnacle, and he followed up by finishing third in the league, their joint-highest placing and one only Gasperini has achieved, to steer them back into the Champions League.

The summer of 2025 brought a parting of the ways and a surprise appointment. Gasperini moved to Roma and was succeeded by death metal-loving former Southampton boss Ivan Juric.

The Bergamo side have made an unbeaten start to the league season under Juric. After drawing their first two matches, they thumped Lecce on Sunday to boost their confidence ahead of this Champions League bout in the French capital.

They're going to need it. PSG were dominant in winning their first Champions League last season, scoring 33 goals en route to the final in Munich and another five when they got there.

They've continued in the same vein in the new Ligue 1 season, winning their first four fixtures and conceding in just one of them.

PSG have become used to retaining their silverware. They've won the last four consecutive Ligue 1 titles and Europe is the next frontier in that regard.

As well as Atalanta, PSG were drawn against Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, Athletic Bilbao, Sporting CP and Newcastle United in this season's league phase.

Atalanta will follow their trip to Paris by playing Club Brugge, Slavia Prague, Marseille, Eintracht Frankfurt, Chelsea, Athletic Bilbao and Union Saint-Gilloise.

The only previous meeting between these teams was in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2019-20. Played over a single leg in Lisbon due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was a 2-1 win for eventual losing finalists PSG.

FourFourTwo's prediction

PSG 2-0 Atalanta

A home game is the perfect way for PSG to launch their Champions League defence and we think they'll do it in style.
