At the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence, Davide Zappacosta made his 100th appearance for Atalanta in all competitions (namely, 88 Serie A caps, 6 UEFA Champions League appearances, 4 Europa League games and 2 Coppa Italia matches): his debut as a Nerazzurro dates back to the Coppa Italia clash against Pisa played on 23/8/2014 and won by Atalanta 2-0. Thus far, Davide has 9 goals and 11 assists to his name.

On the other hand, yesterday marked a historic day also for Carnesecchi: after having only played with Atalanta’s Academy sides, Marco made his debut for the First Team in Florence.

As customary, Stats Perform provided us with further statistical trivia: in the last three Serie A seasons (since the 2021/22 campaign), no other player has scored more goals from outside the box (seven) than Teun Koopmeiners, who is on par with Paulo Dybala. Moreover, no other team from the “Big Five” European leagues can flaunt more goals scored from outside the box in the past five seasons (since the 2019/20 campaign) than Atalanta: 55, a shared record with Manchester City. For the second time in his career, Marten de Roon provided two assists in a single Serie A game, with the former dating back to the match against Udinese played on the 27th of October 2019.
