Djimsiti ready to lead Atalanta in Europa League final

Berat Djimsiti is ready to lead Atalanta in tonight's Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.

Djimsiti will wear the armband with Rafael Toloi to start from the bench.

He said: “Now that I'm here in the stadium I'm starting to feel the importance of tomorrow's match.

“Even seeing all these journalists here gives me that feeling. The coach made a good point, there was no time to think about the future, because we've had so many matches to play before now. You realise it at the end of the season."

Of his own form, Djimsiti added: "With all these years of experience with Atalanta, it's taught me what it means to be competitive. I haven't set myself any limited targets in terms of improvement, but I think it's gone well. You can always improve."
