The Egyptian 'was never dangerous', writes Tuttosport.
Gomez, on the other hand, 'inspired' Atalanta’s historic win at Anfield. “He is the soul of the team,” writes La Gazzetta dello Sport. He played 'with the death of Maradona in his heart but clear ideas in his mind.'
The 32-year-old dedicated Atalanta’s win to the Napoli legend who died on Wednesday aged 60.
All Atalanta players have extremely high ratings, no matter the position. For Liverpool it’s exactly the opposite. Only Fabinho has decent ratings throughout Italian media.
