Alassane Sidibe will always remember the match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The Ivorian midfielder born in 2002, who joined the Nerazzurri when he was still fifteen at the time of the Under-16, made his Serie A debut and earned his first official appearance for the first team by coming on for Matteo Pessina in the final minutes of the game.

Here is a fun fact: against Lazio, Alassane had scored his first Atalanta goal on a cold and rainy Sunday in mid-March 2018, contributing to the U16 victory. It is almost a sign of fate.

For the whole Atalanta family, it is a great joy to see another boy who has come through the Nerazzurri Youth Academy, reach such an important milestone and see his dream come true.
