Atalanta midfielder Fernando Tissone is hoping his side can defy the odds to do the double over Milan.

The Orobici travel to San Siro on Sunday to take on a Rossoneri outfit, who are desperate for points to aid their bid for Champions League qualification.

Atalanta seem to have little to play for with their season objective of survival as good as secure and a UEFA Cup place beyond their reach, but Milan are local rivals and Tissone is determined to repeat their unlikely 2-1 triumph in Bergamo.

“Playing against the big sides always brings strong emotions and a special motivation with it,” the Argentine ace explained.

“In the first game we played excellently and got the win, even though we were unable to enjoy it with our fans as it was behind closed doors. Now we are looking for a good result at San Siro.”

It is a demanding period for Atalanta, who must also face Inter at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia in Week 32.

“These are important games for Milan and Inter because they will influence their League position,” Tissone said.

“But for us it is as simple as continuing to give 100 per cent in every game as we always do.”
