Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed Atalanta's return to the Champions League following a 2-1 victory over Roma, marking their fifth appearance in the elite competition. Securing third place in Serie A, Atalanta holds a firm lead over Juventus and can approach their final matches against Genoa and Parma without pressure. Gasperini emphasized the team's successful season, noting their top performance amidst strong competitors like Napoli and Inter Milan, and expressed pride in their resiliency throughout the challenging campaign, particularly after overcoming a mid-season slump.
"I'm happy because it's a fantastic achievement for Atalanta. We've been [competing] with Napoli and Inter Milan for a few weeks but I think this was the highest achievement."
"Now it's a beautiful evening, we have two weeks to enjoy this season... In the Champions League we finished ninth out of 36 teams, missing direct qualification by one point."
