Atalanta vs Chelsea: all the latest UEFA Champions League League phase match information including stats, form, history, and more.
More from Palladino: "Despite this important win, we must never let our focus drop in the next two games, because lapses in concentration can lead to poor performances in the league. In the Champions League we get excited and can even push beyond our limits, but the attitude and spirit we showed tonight needs to be there in every game. I want my team to always give their absolute best, just like we did tonight."
Raffaele Palladino, Atalanta manager, to UEFA: "We're really happy, it's been a magical night, shared with our fans. It was truly an unforgettable evening. We're especially proud because we faced a very strong team, full of great individual players.We're also happy because we've regained the DNA we had lost last Sunday in the league. I saw the team I wanted to see. We played well technically, showed great quality, and really challenged Chelsea. Of course, we're happy because this is a win we wanted, a performance we were aiming for, and together as a team we gave everything to achieve it."
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager, to UEFA: "I think Atalanta have many good players. Ederson is a good player, Lookman is a good player, De Ketelaere is a good player, so they have different ones. Everything changed after we conceded the first goal. From that moment on, we lost a bit of control. Up until then, we were in charge and playing well."
More from De Roon: "We have a lot of quality, we know how to play. This was a really nice evening and we are going to celebrate a little bit tonight."
Marten de Roon, Atalanta captain, to UEFA: "We're really happy of course, because Chelsea is one of the best and biggest teams in Europe... in the world. They're the world champion. We knew it would be a really difficult game. I think we gave it everything and we gain a really big result for us! We're on 13 points, that's amazing. It's not done, but we're in a good position and we have to say to ourselves that it's important to play always like this."
More from De Keteleare: "We were confident coming into the game, but we knew it was going to be very difficult. You saw also their great team, but I think we had an amazing game."
Charles De Ketelaere, Atalanta winger, to UEFA on winning the game and Player of the Match award: "I feel great. It's an amazing feeling, with the fans behind us, against the champions of the world. So, it's a very beautiful victory for us, for the the team, for the fans, and also for the classification in the Champions League."
