Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with victory over Udinese.

The 2-0 win has Atalanta in fourth place.

Gasperini said, “They are all good teams when I look at the table, I see Roma, Torino, and Milan behind us. There are 12 points up for grabs, everyone must win three games and if we win four, we mathematically qualify.

“There is the risk that one of these teams can go from fighting to the Champions League to ending up with nothing and that makes it all the more interesting."

He added: "It's clear now though that if we win all our remaining matches the other teams can't catch us.

“They are very balanced games, but we remain confident as we are playing with a desire and a belief that we can do something special."
