It was a special, unique evening… It was an emotional one that we will carry in our hearts forever… It was the perfect evening! We couldn’t have said goodbye to the Professor in any other way!

Atalanta overcame Torino thanks to Teun Koopmeiners’ hat-trick and now are joint leaders of Serie A with Roma on 10 points. There were emotional scenes before kick-off, as Iličić said goodbye to the Atalanta fans, who gave a standing ovation and paid tribute to the Slovenian.

The Slovenia international walked all around the pitch starting from the Main Stand, then continuing to the Curva Sud Morosini, the Tribuna Rinascimento and finally the Curva Nord Pisani…
The applause and chants were all for him, who finally admitted that he got emotional.

THANKS for everything JOSIP, you are part of our history, you are part, forever, of Atalanta.
Bergamo and Atalanta will always be your home!
