Gian Piero Gasperini is proud of his players after Atalanta defeated Fiorentina to reach the Coppa Italia final.

Atalanta beat Fiorentina 2-1, 5-4 on aggregate, to set up a final against Lazio.

Gasperini said, “It's a wonderful evening for us, as we achieve a fantastic target like the Final. It'll be important to win, but reaching the Final is what we wanted and we fought hard to get here against a very strong Fiorentina side. The lads earned this."

Pierluigi Gollini was again decisive in goal and the coach added: “I had thought of starting with Gollini this season, but he hadn't played consistently in Serie A before now, so I preferred to break him in slowly and use Berisha, who had more experience. He has been playing regularly now and fundamental in every game."
