"It's a great result. We did well, the match could have finished with more goals for both teams," Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said. "A three-goal advantage is a nice haul but we should have been more concentrated on the chance for their goal, which could have been avoided."

Atalanta qualified for Europe's top competition for the first time after a surprise third-place finish in Serie A last season.

Josip Ilicic and Remo Freuler scored Atalanta's other goals before substitute Denis Cheryshev netted a consolation goal for Valencia to give the Spanish team a glimmer of hope
