Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was happy with victory over Spezia on Friday.
La Dea will now focus on Real Madrid for the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie. They trail the Spanish giants by 1-0 from the first leg in Bergamo and Gasperini said the Orobici will do their best to turn around the 'complicated match'.
“Let's not go there to have a walk," Gasperini told Sky Italia. “It's a difficult result to turn around, it would be complicated anyway, let alone with a disadvantage.
“In the first leg we played a painful, defensive match, we weren't able to play 11 against 11, we'll see.
“We hope go ahead. We are proud to play it with an uncompromised qualification."
