Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was left pleased with their 0-0 draw against Juventus.

Despite drawing a blank, Gasperini was satisfied with the stalemate.

He later said, "Very satisfied with the performance, with the match, with how it went. Disappointed because we had the opportunities to win but we must be happy because we faced a really strong team.

"We were playing against Juventus even though we did well in the first part of the match. In the second part of the first half Juve came out on top but without creating any major dangers for us. We changed the setup a bit and created the right opportunities.

"This team grows not only in the usual elements but also the new members, who become reliable."

La Dea now face Sporting CP in the Champions League on Thursday.

Gasperini added, "Very strong team that plays very good football, difficult to face, is first in the table and is a renowned team. International showcase is fantastic and we are going to compete. You come away from these matches with something extra."
