Capello: Atalanta\u2019s humiliation \u2018a lesson\u2019 for Italian football<\/h2>

\u201cI saw a team that pressed and ran, with everyone showing impressive quality, in vision and possession,\u201d Capello told Sky Sport via TMW.<\/a><\/p>

\u201cEvery time Bayern won the ball back, they went straight forward and sprinted into space. With that kind of technique, they clearly put Atalanta in trouble.<\/p>

\u201cAtalanta were actually fortunate to concede only six goals. It could have been many more, and the goalkeeper made some good saves as well. This is a lesson for Italian football. Atalanta were the only Italian side to qualify for the Round of 16 and had beaten Borussia Dortmund, but they didn\u2019t stand a chance against the top German team.\u201d<\/p>
