Brian Priske, the Midtjylland manager, says they proved that they deserve to be playing in the Champions League by securing an away draw against Atalanta.
"Of course we give some chances away here and there, but I have to praise the players for adapting in a very short time and then deliver at a high level," Priske said.
"Then it is clear that you can be a little annoyed that you let one in at the end, but I also think there were a few options for Atalanta before then.
"So we are happy to be on the board and show that we have some qualities in the Champions League as well."

Liverpool are undefeated in their last two away matches in the Champions League having registered two victories.
