Atalanta's Emotional Turn in Europa League: Gonçalves' Goal and Tears

Atalanta fell behind in the first half of the Europa League round of 16 return match against Sporting Lisbon. Pedro Gonçalves, the most important player of the green and whites scored the temporary 1-0 goal, but what happened next left everyone with a doubt: what happened? After scoring, in fact, the Portuguese burst into tears without celebrating and then was substituted by his coach who, at the 34th minute, sent Braganca onto the field. The incident was quite curious, but it is soon explained. At the moment of progressing with the ball at his feet and then with the shot, the Portuguese forward felt his left hamstring pull, which he immediately raised after the shot on goal. A stop that could also be quite significant for the Portuguese who immediately felt pain bursting into tears of anger and disappointment for the forced substitution. An injury that came precisely at the moment of the goal, with the substitution being immediately necessary.
