Atalanta, established in the year of 1907, have made Gewiss Stadium, situated in the heartland of Italy, their playing haven.
The current ensemble of players that don the Atalanta jersey is, in no uncertain terms, a high-value assembly. Valued at an attention-grabbing £395m as confirmed by the well-respected football resource, Transfermarkt. Quite the pricey sum, considering this is footie we're talking of and not the Crown Jewels, sans any regal references, of course.
A fairly youthful group of lads they are, the 38-strong squad at Atalanta boasts an average age of 25 years- just about the age they can enjoy a proper whisky, Scottish law notwithstanding.
As for the current season, Atalanta have spread their wings quite far and wide, participating in as many as 5 competitions. A rundown of their efforts reveals an impressive 3rd place standing in Serie A, a vigorous sprint to the Quarter-Finals in the Coppa Italia and matching strides till the Semi-finals in the Italian Supercoppa. Further afield, they held the home front well in the UEFA Super Cup reaching the Final and played in the harsh Knockout play-offs of the Champions League.
