A night at the top of the table, tied with Inter and awaiting Napoli. Atalanta secured their seventh consecutive win, also beating Parma 3-1. Gasperini, sent off with the score at 2-1, made no secret of his team's pursuit of the Scudetto after the match. This Atalanta side is perhaps Gasperini's best yet.
“It is undoubtedly a series of results that speaks for itself. I don't want to make comparisons with teams from the past because they are different teams, if you talk to me about Gomez, Ilicic, Zapata and Muriel that was also an extraordinary team, with this one we won the Europa League.
It's the same thing as not wanting to talk about the Scudetto because we're in the 13th round and we want to win all the games we can, then if we continue like this we'll definitely think about it, we won't back down, it was the same for the Europa League, we didn't think we'd win it.
This victory is a good prelude to the Champions League match against Young Boys: now we have to focus on the Champions League because it can be a difficult but decisive match. Inter also had difficulties against Young Boys”.
It's interesting to read about Atalanta who are doing well but I think the race for the Scudetto is still long. Let's not forget the other teams like Napoli who can always surprise. The Champions League is difficult.
