It was a historic night for Atalanta as they won 3-0 away to Shakhtar which helped them qualify for the final 16 of the Champions League. After the match, Gasperini spoke to Sky Sport:
"Until the third goal I wasn't calm. It's a huge result for us and for Bergamo, we're also happy for Italian football, it's necessary that we achieve international credibility. We qualified from a strong and balanced group."
"Undoubtedly we were missing three key players, but those who played showed that the group is reliable. They defended in the moments they needed to, it's a win where everyone contributed. Now we will celebrate a lot. The team is happy and wants to celebrate. As of tomorrow, actually the day after tomorrow, we'll think of Serie A. Dedication? It's for the whole city of Bergamo, from the players to the fans, it's a victory for the whole city who always gives us a huge hand."
