Atalanta were greeted by 50,000 fans as they rode an open-top bus around the city of Bergamo to celebrate their Europa League triumph.

The squad went on the parade after securing their historic first ever UEFA trophy, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in Dublin.

This morning they were at a special ceremony with the Mayor of Bergamo to reward them with the Civic Merit award for their achievements in sport.

Their season is not over yet, because they will play Fiorentina at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday evening.

A victory there would catapult La Dea into third place in the Serie A table.
