Ederson hit the only goal of the match on Sunday to strengthen the qualifying opportunities of La Dea's Champions League.
“It was a great goal, as well as a decisive one, with the wing players and midfielders in the box. We tried to create those opportunities in the first half and Time did not go well, but the spaces opened a bit and it was a great team movement,” Gasperini told Dazn.
“This is an incredible season for me, because this victory really gives us the chance to qualify for the Champions League again. It would be the fifth time in seven years, an extraordinary result for Atalanta, and we know how fundamental this is for Bergamo.
“This is a fantastic evening, because the competition is really difficult, many teams have been crammed into a few points. Bologna that defeated Inter, could have been dangerous for us, so the concentration of everyone to reach our goal is great, it would be great to crown that success this season.”
“Don't be stupid!”
Asked if he regretted that he had not held a scudetto challenging longer, Gasperini was adamant.
“Don't be crazy! How can we regret if we have 64 points?” He laughed.
“I said we were a challenge for the Scudetto to push my players, but some took it a bit too seriously.
“This is an extraordinary season, we are seven points of the top two, it is largely due to the matches that we have lost against them in the second half of the campaign, but it seems exaggerated to suggest that Atalanta could fight for the Scudetto.
“Qualification for the Champions League would be an extraordinary result, just look at the teams behind us in the table, the value of the squadrons and the quality of players they have.”
