This is the most important match in Atalanta's history, but I have played many games in my career. Football is great because there can be great emotions at all levels.

This is an extraordinary journey. Perhaps in a few years we will be able to appreciate it better, but we have shown that even in a small space, with limited finances, it is still possible to create a football team that can identify itself," Gasperini was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
