Gian Piero Gasperini praised Atalanta's qualification for the Champions League.
The Bergamasco side beat Roma (2-1) to secure third place in Serie A.
"This is a fantastic achievement for Atalanta. Yes, we were at the top for a few weeks with Napoli and Inter, but third place was the maximum we could have achieved.
Remarkably, we managed to do it with two rounds ahead of clubs such as Juventus, Milan, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina, and Bologna," said the Atalanta coach.
