[Saba Sports News] Ahead of the Europa League final between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta’s key midfielder Marten de Roon is unable to participate due to a left thigh biceps femoris injury. Nevertheless, Atlanta fans showed their support and appreciation for De Roon by unfurling a banner in front of his home. The banner read: “Commitment, sacrifice, and a jersey soaked in sweat: De Jongen, you have won your trophy.” De Roon was deeply moved by this gesture and expressed his gratitude on social media, stating that he knows the fans have something special and the display in front of his house, on the eve of the final, is truly beautiful and surprising. Despite his injury, De Roon traveled with the team to Dublin and attended the pre-match press conference with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
