Luis Muriel insists Atalanta can reach the Champions League knockout phase after victory Dinamo Zagreb.

The Oribici won 2-0, with Muriel converting a penalty, to keep their hopes alive.

He said at the final whistle: I think we deserved a win earlier in the competition, as we'd put in some good performances, but this was a great joy for us and for this club that is making history.

We hope this is the turning point and that now Atalanta are truly a Champions League team. We have this final game and will try to play even better.

There had already been signs of real growth against Manchester City, but here we dominated from start to finish, had five or six big chances in the first half alone and the result was never in question.

We were convinced after we drew with Manchester City and the other teams drew both their games, we saw this possibility of qualification and knew we could go for it."
