Victory, of course. But also the way in which Atalanta won. Gian Piero Gasperini starts from that, interviewed by Sky shortly after winning the Europa League with Atalanta. “The way we won is extraordinary. We beat very strong teams like Liverpool, Sporting and Leverkusen. Today we did a wonderful and memorable performance“. Then, the tactical analysis, explaining the choice of the trident, a somewhat surprising move (especially the insertion of Lookman, a decisive result) and unexpected against a big team like Bayer. And instead… “We play often with the trident, today there were all the conditions: we only played to win and it wasn’t enough to defend tonight. Deserved without a shadow of a doubt, even in terms of the score. My first trophy on the board? I don’t think I’m any better now than this afternoon. Everyone has their objectives, otherwise only Juventus or Inter would win. However, this year Bologna and Cagliari also won. Sure that we needed a cup, especially one so prestigious.” The last line: “A street dedicated to Bergamo? No, not that, there’s time!”.

We deserved it. I don’t know If I’m dreaming, I’ll jump on the bench happily, but maybe only tomorrow will I realize what Bergamo will be like now?
Scamacca: “Now I hope to go to the European Championship…”
“We still had a bad taste in our mouths from the Italian Cup final but I would have signed up to lose that and win the Europa League“, the first words of Scamacca, who had already won the Conference with West Ham last season: “Next year? One thing at a time…”. “At the final whistle I thought it was a dream come true, a job that starts from afar. I’m fine, I’m calm and I’ve grown a lot. I hope to do well too if I go to the European Championship“
