Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini spoke about their upcoming Champions League knockout first leg against Valencia: "First first time facing a Spanish team? Spanish football is among the best and it is more than just Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even Valencia, regardless of their faults, are still a great team. We studied them and we have to make the most of it on the field. We are hoping to have the advantage going into the return leg. We have to respect and humility because this is a difficult game regardless of Valencia's injured players. Zapata? He had a great start to the season, just like last season."
