Italian Atalanta head coach Gian Piero said what he thinks about his team's match today against Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2nd round of the Champions League main stage.
"All eight matches in the Champions League will be difficult, as we play against teams who are used to winning their championships.
Shakhtar have a lot of Brazilian players, we have already seen how good they were in the matchday 1 match against Bologna, so we are definitely in for a tough game.
Especially since our opponents are used to playing in European cups. We will need to stay fully focused for the entire 90 minutes. "Shakhtar may not be Arsenal (Atalanta's opponent in the 1st round of the Champions League, 0-0 - ed.), but they are still a valuable team that is well prepared for the Champions League, " Gasperini said at the pre-match press conference.
