    Shooting star above Olimpico leaves fans in shock


    During the post-match celebrations after Saturday's win over Atalanta, a shining object speeding across the night sky briefly captured the attention at the Olimpico...

    Tammy Abraham and co. may have starred on the pitch - securing a 1-0 win over their rivals from Bergamo that keeps their European aspirations firmly alive - but there was another shooting star attracting attention in the immediate aftermath of Saturday's game.

    Numerous fan videos from the Olimpico caught footage of the object flying over the stadium, as 'Grazie Roma' played out at around 19:50.

    The exact nature of the object remains subject to some speculation, with theories ranging from a shooting star to falling space debris. The appearance of the object was also noted in other parts of Italy.
