Atalanta defeat Valencia — Atalanta qualified for Europe's top competition for the first time after a surprise third-place finish in Serie A last season. And they progressed to the knockout stages despite losing their first three matches in the competition. They are playing their home matches at San Siro as their own stadium didn't meet Uefa requirements. Bergamo has a population of approximately 122,000 and more than 40,000 had made the 60km journey.
