Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has stated that Roma's Europa League semi-final defeat to Manchester United was more disappointing than Atalanta's own Champions League exit against Real Madrid.
Gasperini made the comparison while reflecting on the two Italian clubs' European campaigns.
Roma were eliminated by United after losing the second leg heavily, while Atalanta fell to Real Madrid in the round of 16.
The Italian coach highlighted the nature of Roma's collapse as particularly difficult to accept.
