All three matches we played against them had favourable moments for one of the two teams. Tomorrow there will be a definitive result, it is clear that playing at home we must make our desire to move forward weigh. It is a burden that can be decisive in the final result between two teams who have shown they have a lot of balance.
They are having a good season, they are first in Portugal, they have both individual and team values, tomorrow we have to make the fact of playing at home an important factor, for the city of Bergamo moving forward represents a great achievement, it is an extra motivation.

Ruben Amorim
Manager on Sporting CP…ABOUT MATCH
We have another day of recovery, Fatigue is no longer an issue. We demonstrated it in Arouca. We expect a very strong Atalanta, a game of duels and man to man. We need to be inspired, physically, because we know it is decisive.
...ROTATION
It will be the rotation that we have been doing, because it is the only way to win all the games. There will be a normal rotation. I think we lasted two months with the illusion that we have of winning the competitions. Fatigue is put aside and we will see who is recovered for the next match against Boavista.
