Atalanta president Percassi proud reaching Europa League final

Atalanta president Antonio Percassi is proud of the club after reaching the Europa League final.

Atalanta defeated Marseille 3-0 on Thursday to win the semifinal 4-1 on aggregate. Ademola Lookman, Matteo Ruggeri and El-Bilal Toure struck the goals.

"It was incredible for us, but for all the people of Bergamo. It was an incredible, unthinkable result, the fans went completely mad with joy," Percassi told Sky Italia.

I will keep getting excited in the stands and cheering on the team, then we'll sit down and plan the future.

We always start the season saying we intend to avoid relegation. This is just unthinkable, where we are now."

On coach Gian Piero Gasperini, he added: He has been decisive, as over all these years we've been growing and improving. We know each other well. At times he can be a bit particular if things don't go the right way, but he is an extraordinary coach."
