Mario Pašalić scored the go-ahead header as Atalanta came back from a two-goal deficit to eliminate manager Niko Kovač and Borussia Dortmund from the Champions League.
After losing 2–0 in the first leg, Atalanta responded with a 4–1 victory today to complete a huge comeback. Pašalić rose above the defence at a crucial moment, completing the dramatic turnaround. Pašalić also supplied the cross into the box that resulted in the game-winning penalty for Atalanta. Across the board this week, he couldn’t be more in form.
Pašalić and Atalanta will now face Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16.
Pašalić goal (9:21)
If Oršić finishes the season strong, we’re probably going to have the same bench mob as in the past two tournaments (Oršić, Pašalić, Vlašić) all of whom were very clutch for us.
Majer however will lose his role with us now that we have Baturina requiring key minutes for us.
Every Croat in the world knows including dalic and pasalic that Pašalić is a massive piece of our depth and a clutch guy and should not be starting on rw
The other pasalic maybe tho
Clutch player. Definitely on the plane for me. But not my starting RW.
Good to see Pasalic is in good form. He went through a bit of a dry spell earlier in the season.
Ivanovic came on in the 85th minute against Real Madrid. But he couldn’t seem to get much going in the 15 or so minutes he had on the field.
Croatia fans…
Meet your starting RW at the World Cup!
😉
Please no
Super sub 💪🏻
