The second leg of Valencia's last-16 tie against Atalanta will be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus, but around 2,000 Los Che fans went to Mestalla nonetheless to show their support to the players.
The Serie A side beat Los Che 4-1 in the first leg and Albert Celades' men will try to overturn this deficit on Tuesday night.
Only 250 people will be allowed to attend the game, including media representatives, club employees and security staff.
Defying the instructions of the Spanish Ministry of Health, a couple of thousand supporters gathered before the game outside the ground with scarves, flags and flares.
Meanwhile, only 30 Atalanta fans visited the hotel where their team is staying ahead of the tie.

What's the point of playing behind close doors to take precautions for Covid19 when all the fans are gathering outside the stadium? Lucky Italian clubs,they are getting advantage cos of Corona virus
Serie A is suspended for a month - Therefore no proper match preparation before big UCL ties, Advantage to Italian side my foot.

I know it's in good spirits but what they are doing is stupid. Defeats the purpose of closed game, keeps the virus in circulation n thus lead to more closed matches or worse - infected fans n players.
