THE WORDS OF ANTONIO CONTE

I hope it's a great game. It will be played with an open visor, without thinking. Atalanta have become a force in Italian football, given their development over the last few years. They're also in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. We will have to suffer, but our aim is to cause them problems.
