    Atalanta is much closer geographically than Donetsk as well if we draw them!

    ...would also be a decent allocation of tickets for the San Siro as they can't play their home match in Bergamo.

    I am not sure of the exact reason. It was widely circulated before the group draw last September that if Liverpool got Atalanta the match would be played in the San Siro. They also played 'home' Europa League matches previously at a different ground.

    This link does not help much with a reason https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...ball-news/atalanta-vs-man-city-being-17214297

    Their home ground in Bergamo was undergoing restructuring work and wasn't ready in time to fit UEFA parameters at the beginning of the season. Not sure the status of the ground now, 6 months on, its possible I guess that they could be ready to move back there for the Knockout stages but I haven't heard anything mentioned around that

    Just had a look on skyscrapercity.com plenty of pictures showing construction work still going on at the end of November. No idea if this can be completed before February.

    The problem with Lyon is that they run the risk of having to play a game behind closed doors so would rather avoid them.

    Think they said before the draw that it would be about 12.45 (presumably 11.45 our time).
