Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini admitted some frustration after their 1-1 draw with Europa League opponents RB Leizig.
In Germany for the first-leg of the quarterfinal, La Dea had taken the lead through Luis Muriel and Juan Musso saved the Andre Silva penalty, but moments later Davide Zappacosta accidentally bundled a cross into his own net for the equaliser.
“We do have some regrets, but then you can lose these games as well as win them, and at the end we had that goal-line clearance," Gasperini told Sky Italia.
“It's incredible this season, we seem to just lose concentration. With a penalty like that, you think you're safe when it's put out for a throw-in, but instead you concede…
“Muriel scored an extraordinary and fantastic goal, but Duvan as a presence helps us to play in a different way."
