Gian Piero Gasperini insists Atalanta’s 1-0 home defeat to Cagliari had nothing to do with the Europa League exit. “We didn’t play well.”

This result concluded a nightmare week for the Orobici, who were knocked out of the Europa League on penalties by FC Copenhagen on Thursday.

Cagliari did well and we were missing our best characteristic, which is organisation,” the Coach told Radio Rai.

This result concluded a nightmare week for the Orobici, who were knocked out of the Europa League on penalties by FC Copenhagen on Thursday.

“Cagliari did well and we were missing our best characteristic, which is organisation,” the Coach told Radio Rai.

“The lads put the effort in, but we had a few problems tactically and different alternatives didn’t work out. We didn’t play well and at the end of the day games like this can help you learn a few things.

“The fans are so supportive and I don’t think there were any after-effects to the Europa League defeat. We just had some tactical issues and were unable to resolve them.”
