With the hat trick scored in 2013, German Denis is the sole Atalanta player to have ever scored three goals at the Meazza stadium against Inter.

True

Truly a victory for the record books is the one dating back to April 2013: after Inter took the lead in the 1st half with Rocchi, Bonaventura scored the equaliser for Atalanta in the second half. Despite Inter trying to take it to the hills with Ricardo Alvarez’s brace, El Tanque Germán Denis donned the hattrick-hero suit and put his foot down: in just 12 minutes, not only did he score the penalty to make it 3-2 (on the 65th), but he also bested Handanovic twice on the 71st and 77th -setting the final 3-4 outcome in the record books. Denis is the sole Atalanta player to have ever scored a hattrick against Inter at the Meazza stadium.
