Umno’s door always open even to sacked members, party sec-gen says after N. Sembilan chief moots taking back those removed post-GE15 ‘cleansing’BERGAMO, May 27 — Atalanta were given a hero’s welcome yesterday as the Europa League winners strolled past Torino 3-0 in a festive homecoming after their stunning triumph over Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin.

But instead Gian Piero Gasperini’s side thumped Torino to move up to fourth and give themselves a chance to equal their best ever finish of third by winning next weekend’s game in hand with Fiorentina.Atalanta’s loud home support chanted “we’re the champions of Europe!” at the end of a typically swashbuckling performance against sorry Torino, after which the team paraded the Europa League trophy on the pitch to further chants of “thank you, lads”.

“It’s normal that both sides take time to think about these things. But we’re going to continue together and we’re all happy about it.” Former Colombia forward Zapata led the line for the thrilling Atalanta team which was desperately unlucky to be knocked out of the Covid 19-hit Champions League quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.

Wednesday night’s hat-trick hero Ademola Lookman was again on target, sweeping home the hosts’ second just before half-time after in-form striker Gianluca Scamacca celebrated his Italy call-up with a beautiful finish midway through the first half.
