Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini admits AC Milan deserved their 3-2 win on Sunday.
La Dea were trailing 3-0 until a late comeback through Duvan Zapata's penalty and Mario Pasalic.
"Undoubtedly, conceding within 30 seconds and another just before half-time was a blow, as between those two incidents we did have the opportunities to equalise," Gasperini said.
“Our confidence was shaken, but also it has to be noted that Milan are in excellent form and they did everything right this evening.
“We were also unlucky in some situations, for example losing Matteo Pessina to injury. We still created the chances, we just didn't finish them and the goalkeeper made good saves."
He added: “It was more balanced with Inter, whereas this evening it was certainly affected by the very early goal. I saw a very strong Milan, quick and with characteristics that you don't always see in Italy. In terms of pace and attacking movement, they become very dangerous.
“Every game has a different story, but Milan really impressed me tonight."
