[NorthernBoy]

Been Atalanta before, class place Bergamo

Such a shame Atalanta will play their Champions League games at The San Siro this season.

Just in from work, and was going to post this. Are they not also Right wing leaning, politically? If so, fully expect monkey chants etc. Sure I seen it on a Danny Dyer type documentary a while ago.

Just done a bit of research. Many apologies, I found Atalanta are left wing and rank right wing Lazio as a significant nemesis.

Although the teams we’ve been drawn against aren’t the greatest, we have further to travel than the other English teams... so not as easy a group as they’re moaning about

Playing at the San Siro though.

Not playing there tho

But the cheap airlines fly there.

Tough in terms of ‘off field’. Dodgy as... Bergamo is a heavily industrialised City. Very rough

Beautiful City, Beautiful People, leave the scaremongering to the newspapers. Besides, The game will be In Milan at the San Siro not in Bergamo.

piss easy draw, id rather see city get a tough group,so they could better prepare for the knockout stages but at least it gives you guys leeway for a very strong league run once again

Shakhtar must have really pissed UEFA off.

You don't have to stay there though and usually there are plenty of cheap flights to Milan as well.
