Bologna FC organized a celebration to mark their promotion to the Champions League after a 3-3 draw with Juventus. During Riccardo Calafiori's interview with a DAZN journalist, his partner also appeared on camera.

The circumstances for the celebration could have been better. On Monday, Bologna experienced heavy rainfall, and the local team squandered a three-goal lead against Juventus. In the last fifteen minutes, however, a dramatic turn of events occurred, and the Bianconeri overcame a significant deficit to the hosts.

The lack of victory against Juventus means that Bologna no longer controls their fate for third place in the Italian league. Currently, Atalanta is closest to the podium, sitting in fifth place. Nevertheless, this minor setback does not dampen the team's good spirits, including players like Łukasz Skorupski and Kacper Urbański. They have qualified for the Champions League, which is a significant achievement.

One of Bologna's key figures this season has been Riccardo Calafiori. The defender has been outstanding; for instance, in the match against Juventus, he scored two goals. After the game, the Italian spoke with DAZN TV journalist Giorgia Rossi.

The interview was interrupted by the player's partner, who needed attention and couldn't wait a few minutes for the interview to end. An Italian woman named Benedetta burst onto the camera uninvited.

Benedetta kissed the player and then threw herself into his arms, causing Giorgia Rossi to take a half-step back. After a few tender gestures, the Bologna FC player's partner left the frame, allowing the interview to continue peacefully.

The recording quickly spread on social media, and this brief appearance in front of the DAZN camera might bring some popularity to the Italian woman. After the match, Benedetta posted a photo of Riccardo Calafiori on her Instagram profile, captioning saying that he is her champion. In her stories, she boasted about short recordings of the celebration of the promotion to the Champions League in Bologna.
