Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has claimed that AS Roma will gain more valuable lessons from their defeat to Manchester United than they would from a loss to Real Madrid.

Gasperini made the remark following Roma's recent match against the English Premier League side, suggesting that the experience of facing United offers a different kind of learning opportunity compared to playing the Spanish giants.

The Italian coach did not elaborate further on the specific reasons behind his assessment.
