BERGAMO — Piazza Vittorio Veneto, province of Dublin. Bergamoyes, but for the 15 thousand who took to the streets on Saturday evening to warm the Goddess from a distance with their cheering and warm themselves with the hat-trick by Lookman which seals the dream victory over Bayer Leverkusen and take home the trophyEuropa League, it’s like being in the stands of the Avia Stadium. And what does it matter if, between one charter and another, only 7,000 arrived in Ireland? Here in the heart of the lower city – two screens because one looks at the station and the other, as befits the always divided city, at Bergamo Alta – there are double the number, or rather more, while after the referee’s whistle entire families pour in on the street and who cares if tomorrow is a work day as usual and you have to get up early.

The people of Bergamo and not only them: the Nigerian spell of the three goals given to those who did not lose a match in 51 rounds also awakens the not indifferent community of immigrants who live and work in one of the most productive cities in Europe: “Proud to be Nigerian”, is heard among the native accents. Tomorrow we go back to work, the minibuses full of “magut”, the bricklayers who build all of Lombardy from the Bergamo valleys, will leave later than the usual five in the morning or perhaps they won’t leave at all. After all, here in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, for an evening on the banks of the Liffey, who can go to bed to interrupt the most beautiful dream with sleep?
