Tractors in the streets, boys waving the “Goddess” flag, fireworks and traffic at a standstill. Bergamo turns Nerazzurri after last night’s victory in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin. The absolute protagonist, Ademola Lookman: her hat-trick sends the Nerazzurri to heaven, superior in every duel, and in every area of the pitch, against the Germans, fresh from a record streak of matches without defeats. The party in the city of Bergamo began at the 16th minute of the first half, shortly after 9.17pm, continued ten minutes later, half an hour into the second half and exploded a few minutes before 11pm. Around fifteen thousand fans, according to the figures released by the Municipality, between the two giant screens in the centre, at the Torre dei Caduti in Piazza Vittorio Veneto and in Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, along the road towards the train station, a few steps from Porta Nuova. While in the city there was a giant indoor screen in Daste, a former thermoelectric power plant in Celadina, towards Seriate, converted into a space for events. The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, in Dublin to watch the race, commented on his Instagram account: «Champions!!! Atalanta and Bergamo on the roof of Europe!!! Thank you guys, thank you President, thank you Gasp, you have given us an emotion that we will remember for a lifetime! I am enormously proud of my city and this fantastic team: I would never have hoped, as Mayor, to experience a happier moment than this!”.
