Here are the statements made by Gian Piero Gasperini after the success against Bayer Leverkusen that allowed Atalanta to enter the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals:

"It's a great satisfaction for our fans who were finally able to come to this stadium with a victory. We suffered a bit too much in the second half, but over the two games we perhaps deserved the passage to the round. We can do better, but let's enjoy this qualification. We had commitment, abnegation, belonging: without these values you can't win this qualification. Then on a technical level we should try to do something more. Now we'll see the draw, it's a competition that becomes very very important with very strong teams. We have achieved a good result, a good goal.
