Gabbiadini was on the scoresheet in a rare appearance for the former Sampdoria man, but Sarri praised his contribution.
"The goal of the evening was to get the qualification and first place, the boys had a great game,” he said to Sky Sport.
“Those who don’t play much in the league did very well, this is very important news for us and a great prospect.
"Manolo is a great forward. When playing as centre-forward he scores regularly. We have to see if our balance allows us to deploy him also as a winger.
“There was no doubt that he’s a great attacker. Now we’ll see how the situation develops.
"If we are there with our heads, then we are physically too. The mental condition effects the physical condition in a decisive way.
"The opponents tonight were Danish champions. They put out the Southampton and have several national team players. Therefore we didn’t expect it to be so unproblematic, but they did better in the first leg and they put us in difficulty.
“The Europa League has an unsporting formula which I don’t like. We don’t know yet who will participate in the competition, so how can we know how far we’ll go?
