Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini is delighted to have secured another season in the Champions League.
For the third time in four seasons, Atalanta have clinched a top four finish.
“It's a huge result, we are very happy to be there with four rounds to spare, as it was much tighter in previous years. It's a sign of the constant growth of this side and confirmation at the top level," said Gasp in his press conference.
“It was not a fluke, so that makes it even more satisfying. This Atalanta team has set many new records, both club records and in Serie A, so we hope to keep going at this pace.
“We have more games coming up and will give our all in those, not just as preparation for the Champions League, but also out of personal satisfaction for more results in a very special season.
“It's a tough fixture list, but we've seen over the last few weeks that each game has its own hidden dangers. We've won seven games and drawn two, despite taking the lead against Juventus and Verona, so will try to remain focused.
“Playing this frequently causes issues for everyone, but we are all in the same boat."
