Bologna Fans Rally with Passion: “The Squadron’s Return! Are We Destined for Europe Again?”

Vince, si diverte e fa squadra. E profuma di Europa. In short, it’s a grand Bologna that thrashed Lazio under the grand towers of Maratona, bursting the net with five stunning goals and, more importantly, stirring emotions among the fans. They’re "mad for the Rossoblú and eager for a return to Champions," it seems, after Bologna’s exhilarating display at Dall'Ara. The following day, Bologna basks in a brilliant spring sun, reflecting the joy of its citizens who are still buzzing from Sunday’s spectacle. The atmosphere is electric, with Rossano Corraini confessing, "We’ve never seen a Bologna team like this before." The dream of Europe is alive and kicking, especially after last year’s miraculous Champions League run. Initially met with skepticism, hope has since taken root, with Franco Langone from Bar Sorriso noting that despite the long and treacherous road ahead—especially with the upcoming match against Venezia—“we’ll keep pushing forward. Bologna’s a marvel, and we’re still in the hunt for a European spot.” In this jubilant mood, Langone emphasizes the importance of bringing kids to the stadium, as they’re the supporters of tomorrow. "Live football sends shivers down the spine," adds Luca Zanasi, highlighting the unity and determination of this Bologna squad. Reflecting on the last match, where Castro led the chorus, Zanasi concludes, “It was simply incredible. We deserve to be in Europe.” Massimo Portunato muses on the prospects of securing a Champions League spot once again, noting, “We’re continuing to dream, and it’s slowly turning into reality.” He smiles, “I haven’t enjoyed football like this in ages,” especially since he’s been a loyal supporter since 1974. With Renato Serpi recalling his faith in their performance at the season’s onset, he adds, “I was hoping for a Champions return. Fingers crossed we can repeat the joy of qualifying like last time.” The city is alive with excitement, with Donatella Natali expressing the collective love for the team, reminiscing about the bittersweet search for a shirt from their victory over Dortmund. As Gianni Bianchi wraps it up, “Let’s replicate that European entry; we’re seeing a fantastic Bologna. A 5-0 win? Who would’ve thought it?” - Resource: "https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/bologna/cronaca/bologna-i-tifosi-in-coro-a5e9d51a
