The traditional fair play moment between the clubs and UEFA was also held in the Ajax-Atalanta pre-match.
Edwin van der Sar, Ajax CEO, and Luca Percassi, Atalanta CEO, met before kick-off: an exchange of greetings, congratulations and gifts in memory of a match which, even before it was played, had already entered by right into the over one-hundred-year history of the Nerazzurri club.
