On the one hand, the Champions League dream, which has come true for the third consecutive season. On the other hand, the regret for not being able to raise a trophy to the sky yet. Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta fell in the Italian Cup final, defeated 2-1 by Chiesa's Juventus and the former Kulusevski. At the end of the match, the Nerazzurri coach spoke to Rai Sport's microphones.
"We are a bit disappointed, it was a good match. The episodes did not favor us, especially as regards the first goal and the penalty on Pessina. In 90 minutes there are moments in which Juve can grow, but Chiesa's goal has changed everything. I am very sorry because we created 6-7 scoring situations and we have not suffered as many ”.
“Comparison between this final and the one with Lazio? It burns me more than that of two years ago, because in this case the referees' choices may not have been acceptable, but it was a little more than normal. Two years ago, however, the game could have changed due to a sensational handball”.
“In Italy it has been since the days of Verona or Sampdoria that some teams like us have not won the championship. The same goes for the Italian Cup, the triumph is the prerogative of a few clubs. Our victories, however, are the achievement of our objectives ".
