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

It was an unprecedented
night for the side from Bergamo

with more than 40,000 of their fans as

doesn't meet UEFA regula-
tions. Denis Cheryshev pulled

Spanish side lost the 2001 last
to Bayern Munich on punishments.
Valencia, seventh in La Liga,

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.
