“After two years, returning to the Champions League for the fourth time with Atalanta is an extraordinary result. I am happy for all of Bergamo, for the club and above all for the players.”
Gian Piero Gasperini rejoices after the victory in Lecce which secured fifth place.
But the coach from Grugliasco is obviously already looking towards Wednesday’s final in Dublin.
“Arriving at this final with the certainty of making the Champions League is certainly a very strong achievement, which must be a propellant for the team, not a satisfying thing. The final is already a great achievement, we are playing against a very strong team, who have never lost. We need the best Atalanta possible, perhaps today’s victory can give us the best conditions to go and play this final. For us the next few days will be wonderful to experience, it is an extraordinary period we are months into all the competitions, it is the most precious crowning achievement even if perhaps in economic terms the Champions League is certainly a great achievement for the club. For us, reaching a European final is something extraordinary, we live it with the right tension.”
