Same here brother!!!!! They have completely doninated us for last couple of seasons (except the last game of last season when we finally beat them)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been almost 8 years since you beat them at San Siro right?

Seb really had some fun opinions in this video

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

Don't forget many other stars from our past started from Atalanta, too: Scirea, Donadoni and Montolivo are good examples of it. Other great products of their youth sector in recent years include Conti, Gagliardini, Caldara (albeit they've all been pretty unlucky), Kessie, Bastoni, Barrow, Del Prato and Carnesecchi. Also, a slight correction: Locatelli did start playing in Atalanta's youth sector, but then completed his path to professional football with AC Milan. 😉

[@rohannaval1621]

One person who should care is Agnelli. He said that they shouldnt be in the UCL cuz they're not big enough, but Juve finished below then this year

[@RFC_16]

Agnelli won't care. He and his mates will continue to ruin football.
