Impromptu celebrations in the street by Atalanta fans at the final whistle of the 2-0 victory over Napoli at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.
For about a quarter of an hour after the end, from the main roads outside the city stadium, where the game was obviously played behind closed doors in compliance with health protocols, spontaneous processions of cars, without creating problems for traffic flow, developed towards the ring road and the city centre amidst honking horns, flag-waving (despite the rain) and a few stadium trumpets.
With this success, the Nerazzurri improved their total goals in Serie A (82), those scored at home (42) and also the record of consecutive matches won in the top flight, bringing it to 7: in 2016/17 and 2013/14 the previous ones, while the same positive streak had been obtained by Emiliano Mondonico in Serie B in 1994/95. Atalanta had never won nine matches in a row between one competition and another: the Champions League round of 19 against Valencia on 10 February and XNUMX March helped them reach this number.
