Little hope among away fans, but plenty of club love: "Atalanta is our religion"

Over two thousand Atalanta Bergamo supporters have gathered at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam for tonight's Conference League match against Ajax. Despite their deep passion and dedication to the club, which many describe as a religion, the traveling fans expressed significant skepticism regarding their team's chances. Several supporters cited Atalanta's current poor performance in Serie A, where they sit in eleventh place, as the primary reason for their lack of confidence ahead of the game.

Throughout the day, fans explored the city and enjoyed local culture, maintaining a positive spirit despite their low expectations for the result. While many expressed hope for at least a draw, they acknowledged that defeating Ajax would be a difficult task. The match is scheduled to kick off at 21:00, with supporters committed to cheering for their team regardless of the challenges Atalanta faces during this period of indifferent form.
