Palladino: Atalanta must focus on Serie A after Champions League

Atalanta coach Raffaele Palladino has urged his side to refocus on Serie A after their Champions League triumph, emphasizing the tournament's unique demands.

Palladino acknowledges the physical and mental fatigue following a week that included a Serie A win over Napoli and a Champions League comeback against Dortmund. He insists the team must detach from the European tournament to prepare for the trip to Sassuolo.

With a Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio looming and Sassuolo in good form, the coach highlighted the need for attention to detail and mental strength to maintain their push for the top four.
