Gasperini and the sentence to Xabi Alonso after the triumph in the Europa League.

During the Europa League final there was no shortage of ritual sparks between the two benches but, at the end of the match dominated by the Goddess, there were also mutual compliments between Gasperini e Xabi Alonso.

The Atalanta coach celebrated the first trophy of his long career as a coach, while the Spaniard suffered his first defeat of the season after the historic Bundesliga victory with his Bayer Leverkusen.

Gasperini, shortly before the awards ceremony, was immortalized by the cameras of Dazn while addressing to Xabi Alonso these words: «Doesn't take anything away, you did something extraordinary». A clear reference to Leverkusen's great season.

The Spaniard, for his part, reciprocated with: "Great match, congratulations. You deserved it.".

The Nerazzurri coach, after the final, he wanted to clarify what winning means to him: «Atalanta's victory has a certain value because it is done in a certain way, we didn't win by running into debt. And then there are not only the titles, this year for example Bologna also won for the championship they played, Verona and Lecce won and saved themselves. We certainly needed such a prestigious cup".
