The testimony of a player from Atalanta in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic: “What we live in Bergamo is terrible”
Alejandro Gomez, the captain of Atalanta, testifies that he is experiencing “terrible” times in Bergamo, a city in the center of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy. Gomez is isolated with his family in the northern city of Lombardy. He says it’s okay, but at the same time he feels sad when he finds out about the bad news in the country, with people dying from the new virus.

“My mental situation is not at the best level. What is happening in Italy is worrying. We try to stay positive, but we get too much negative news. In the last four years in Bergamo I have seen many happy people and an extraordinary state of mind. Now, what we live here is terrible. I do not know how to explain, but this pandemic not only affects Lombardy, but also the whole country”, Gomez told Sky Sport Italy.
Atalanta is qualified in the Champions League quarters
Atalanta is definitely the revelation of the Champions League season. The team from Bergamo beat Valencia in the Champions League best with a double victory: 4-1 and 4-3. At the very beginning of the competition, Atalanta ticked off a fantastic performance, but the coronavirus pandemic in Italy and Europe turned the euphoria of the players into a great sadness.
