Palladino's press conference ahead of Atalanta v Bologna

Raffaele Palladino spoke to the media on the eve of Atalanta’s home clash with Bologna on Matchday 37 of the 2025/26 Serie A Enilive season. The fixture kicks off tomorrow, Sunday 17 May, at 18:00 CEST at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo.

“We’re fully focused on securing a place in Europe, and we mustn’t let anything distract us. The match against Bologna is crucial: we all want to qualify for the Conference League and achieve a ninth European qualification in the last ten years. We’ll be up against a very good side that reached the Europa League quarter-finals playing excellent football and are still in the race for seventh place. It’s a match that certainly hides a few pitfalls. We’ll be without some defenders, but with everyone pulling together we can cope with this injury situation.”
