Bergamo easy on
After winning the first leg (2-1), Atalanto Bergamo celebrated an easy 3-0 (1-0) against Greek title holders Olympiakos Piraeus. The most conspicuous man at the Italian top club was the Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovskyi, who scored twice within four minutes (66th/69th).
But he also attracted attention because he clearly expressed his protest against Russia’s attack on his homeland. Under his jersey he showed a t shirt with the inscription: “No War in Ukraine”. In Naples, players from both teams displayed a banner with the words “Stop the War” (“stop war“).
