Atalanta's night to "remember forever"


Atalanta mentor Gian

Piero Gasperini

hailed a presentation

his club will "recall

everlastingly" after the Italian

side squashed Valencia

4-1 on Wednesday to

make a goliath stride nearer to reach-

ing the Champions League quar-

ter-finals just because.

Dutch wing-back Hans

Hateboer scored twice on 16 and

62 minutes, sandwiching objectives

from Josip Ilicic and Remo

Freuler.

"This is a night that we'll

recollect perpetually," said

Gasperini. "It's a stunning

result, brimming with feeling."

It was an unprecedented

night for the side from Bergamo

who made a trip to the San Siro

with more than 40,000 of their fans as

their home arena 55km away

doesn't meet UEFA regula-

tions. Denis Cheryshev pulled

one back for Valencia in the first

leg of the last-16 tie at the San

Siro, a similar arena where the

Spanish side lost the 2001 last

to Bayern Munich on punishments.

Valencia, seventh in La Liga,

had completed top of their gathering

after away successes over Ajax and

Chelsea yet were missing cut off-

al key players through injury and

suspension.

"It positively convolutes

things a piece, it's a really finished

whelming result, this 4-1," said

Valencia mentor Albert Celades.

"At last it doesn't reflect

much what we saw on the pitch."

Atalanta's run comes notwithstanding

losing their opening three

Champions League gathering

games, before completing second

behind Manchester City.

"Three objectives ahead is a decent

reward," included Gasperini. "Yet

there were a ton of perilous sit-

uations, these are things we'll

need to improve in Valencia.

"We are happy with this

triumph or more all with this

advantage.
