Atalanta Bergamo head coach Gian Piero Gasperini said his side wrote history with their Europa League triumph over Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night (3-0).

The 66-year old won his first-ever trophy as a manager after 30 years of career.

This title means a lot to Atalanta but especially for him as it finally put an end to his trophy drought as a manager.

Where everyone were waiting for Leverkusen to win the Europa League, the Italian side stun the football world to claim the prize.

“I think we wrote history, also for the way we won. The boys were extraordinary, a memorable performance”, Gian Piero Gasperini said in post-match press conference.

“That was perhaps our peak in recent years. We’ve won it against top teams.

“We beat Sporting who are the Portuguese champions. We played Liverpool when they were top of the Premier League.

We played Marseille who are a very good side, and tonight we beat the German champions. To have beaten such great sides adds gloss to our achievement”, he added.
