But Gasperini was quick to turn his attention towards the big match against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

La Dea trail the Spanish giants by 1-0 from the first leg in Bergamo and Gasperini said the Orobici will do their best to turn around the ‘complicated match’.

“Let’s not go there to have a walk,” Gasperini told Sky Sport Italia. “It’s a difficult result to turn around, it would be complicated anyway, let alone with a disadvantage.

“In the first leg we played a painful, defensive match, we weren’t able to play 11 against 11, we’ll see.

“We hope go ahead. We are proud to play it with an uncompromised qualification.”
