“Seeing the Champions League symbol on the Atalanta shirt has a special feeling,” the director general told Sky Sport Italia.

“The team is determined and knows that it has to play in the Atalanta style today, which means being concentrated in every moment of the game.

“We are a bit like Leicester City, a side that upset the odds and therefore is liked and cheered on by the fans of other clubs too. The credit all goes to the lads and the Coach, who took us first into the Europa League and then the Champions League.”
