He scored Atalanta’s second goal at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus. A goal of his own, a sudden and an unstoppable snapshot, in short, a goal like Ruslan Malinovskyi’s: “We played really well”.

Here is the interview with the Ukrainian midfielder:

“I think that everybody said that we lost 2 points, because I think we deserved to win this game today. There were two penalties, we tried to defend well in the last minutes to keep this result, but we were a little bit unlucky, I cannot say otherwise. Today wasn’t our day, that’s it”.

Atalanta provided another excellent performance against Juventus.

“I think we played really well and dominated all the first half, we had great chances, we controlled the ball and I think we played well in the second half too, we scored a goal and tried to stay more compact. We got some counter-attacks, but we could have taken more in that moment. We need to take this game as a lesson. I think it’s not bad to take home one point from here and we move forward onto the next game, because we need to recover well now and be ready for the next game”.

What about the quarter-finals draw, you’ll face Paris Saint Germain.

“I think it’s a great opponent, we also played a Champions League team today. I think we’re ready for that. It’ll be important that everybody will be fit and healthy, I think we’re ready. We’ll play a tough team who have a lot of quality at the front, but I think we’re ready. We need to prepare ourselves for this game”.

Next up in Serie A is the match against Brescia on Tuesday night.

“Yes, it’s the derby and I think we need to win this game for our supporters, because it’s really important for our fans. They are not with us at the stadium but we feel them on the TV. They support us and of course we’ll try to win this game and try to take three points home”.
