Sarri admits defeat: “Roma are stronger than us.”

Atalanta boss Maurizio Sarri spoke to Sky Sport after the match lost against Roma.

“It took a lot of suffering. We faced a stronger team, in better form than they have been in recent times. And I think they will fight for the title until the end. We knew it would be a tough match.”

“There were moments of suffering in the first half, but we were cautious, and we also played very well in the first half of the second half. In the final stages, however, we were too low, perhaps due to physical difficulties.”

“We paid the price, but we’re coming out of it knowing we’ve put a team that is impressive right now under pressure until the end.”

“We’re leaving convinced that we’re growing. We’re far from Roma, but we’re growing.”
