JAKARTA - Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini is clearly not happy with the draw his team won when they hosted Manchester United in the Group F phase of the Champions League, Wednesday morning. As a form of frustration, Gasperini went to meet Cristiano Ronaldo who was an opposing player and told him to "go to hell".

Atalanta and Manchester United meet at the Bergamo Stadium. Acting as the host, La Dea had to settle for closing the game with a 2-2 draw.

This result is certainly not what Gian Piero Gasperini wanted. After the game, he gave a brief comment on the performance of his team.

"It was a beautiful night, but there are things we need to improve on," said Gian Piero Gasperini as reported by UEFA's official website.

Even though he only gave a brief comment on the team's performance, Gasperini actually gave the spotlight to the opposing players. The Atalanta coach apparently paid attention to how Ronaldo was performing on the pitch.

After the match, Gasperini even had time to express his feelings for Cristiano Ronaldo. So annoyed, Gasperini cursed and told the megastar to "go to hell".

"After the game, I spoke with Ronaldo. He's an extraordinary player, some people even called him a problem," said Gasperini.

"Of his 10 shots, 9 were on target, 5 of them were goals."

"I told him, 'You know what we said in Italy? 'Go to hell!'" said the coach.

Gasperini's annoyance at Ronaldo is hard to contain. The reason, in that match the Portugal national team captain appeared to be the savior of Manchester United.

Gasperini:

"At the end of the match I spoke with Ronaldo, he's an incredible player, some even call him a problem. Thats a nice problem to have, 9 out of 10 times his shots on target, 5 of them are goals.

I told him: you know what we say in Italy? Go to Hell"😂 pic.twitter.com/SPru3p3Pod

How could I not? Atalanta, who actually had a 2-1 lead, had to share the points. Because, at the end of extra time in the second half, the former Juventus player scored a goal and ended the match with a score of 2-2.
