Matteo Pessina believes tomorrow's game against Real Madrid is the most important in the history of Atalanta and names the player he would remove from the Merengues' squad if he could.
"It's everyone's dream to play these games. Ten years ago I came here to Madrid with my father to watch Inter's Champions League final against Bayern Munich. I dreamed of playing the Champions League one day," Pessina said at a press conference.

"It's everyone's dream to play these games. Ten years ago I came here to Madrid with my father to watch Inter's Champions League final against Bayern Munich. I dreamed of playing the Champions League one day," Pessina said at a press conference.
"It's a honor, but when you play you don't feel the emotion, you just think about the pitch," he added.
"It's the most important game of the season and in the history of Atalanta. We must do well tomorrow and do well in the league."
Which player would he remove from the Real Madrid squad?
"I think Toni Kroos, he is a point of reference. It all passes from him. You don't see him much in the final third, but he gives balance to Real Madrid."
Pessina has been linked with several top clubs. What does he make of his future?
"There's still plenty of time to think about June. Now I'm focused on tomorrow's game," he said.
"I see my future at Atalanta. I'm evolving and I see a bright future together. This can be a starting point."
