Massimo Brambilla commented on the 2020-2021 UEFA Youth League round of 64 draw in which the Atalanta Primavera will face RB Leipzig: “It is one of the rising clubs in Germany that have invested a lot of time and effort lately. It will be a one-off match that we must face in the correct way and try to be ready in the best possible way”.

Of course, European matches are fascinating. “Last year we saw that the Youth League matches have a lot higher tempo, intensity and physicality compared to the championship matches. It will be a tough match. We have a month of matches so that we could be ready in the best possible way”.

Compared to the latest edition, the formula has been changed and the teams will play single-legged knockout matches. “It is clear that the group stage gave the opportunity to play more matches and face three different teams. And from this point of view, undoubtedly, it was better. In a one-off match, the single episodes and the physical shape of the players will count. And everything can happen in a single match”.
