“We played a great game, with a likeable result,” he told Atalanta’s official website. “The 4-1 will allow us to travel to Valencia with two results available to go through.
“In the return leg there will be a fight against a team that will have their fans pushing them. A miracle will be needed because you can never know in football, surprises like this are always possible.
“We played the game we had prepared for because in the Champions League you can’t do well in any other way. We pressed them and finished everything we created.
“It was beautiful to see so many fans at San Siro, also because I believe those moments are a once in a lifetime experience and it will remain in the history.”
