“If I was 100 per cent fit, I would’ve played all 90 minutes,” the Slovenian told DAZN.

“If I was 100 per cent fit, I would’ve played all 90 minutes,” the Slovenian told DAZN.

“It was a great performance and we made it seem easy, but perhaps we finally got the goals we should’ve scored against Bologna last week.

“I put myself at the disposal of the squad, we scored some fantastic goals today, but the important thing is that the team wins.”

Why did he celebrate with his fingers in his ears?

“There was no message, it just came naturally at the moment.”

Atalanta are in the Champions League Round of 16, finished third in Serie A last season and reached the Coppa Italia Final. How far can they go?

“We have objectives in mind, but we’ll take it one game at a time. We end 2019 on a high, we’re still a little behind in the Serie A standings, so need to start 2020 on the right foot.”
