With the second seasonal Meazza game culminating in a 1-1 draw after the win in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals earlier this January, the Nerazzurri racked up their 8th consecutive unbeaten game in the league (with the make-up being 6 wins and 2 draws), thus going undefeated in their 10th back-to-back fixture (namely, 8 wins and 2 honours even) in all competitions.

Along the lines of the Coppa Italia encounter, it was once again Teun Koopmeiners who left his scoring mark on the game: as pointed out by the Stats Perform’s Opta Facts, the Dutchman is one of the four midfielders (with the others being the likes of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Vincenzo Grifo) across the “Big-5” European leagues to have scored 10+ goals in all competitions in each of the last two seasons. Moreover, Koopmeiners is the midfielder with the highest tally of goals scored away from the Gewiss Stadium in the current Serie A campaign (with 6).

Closing off with the customary individual figures provided by the Serie A’s official Match Report: while Koopmeiners was the Atalantino with the highest number of shots fired, Sead Kolašinac led the chart for most balls played (46) and most passes (28). Additionally, both Kolašinac and Koopmeiners, together with Berat Djimsiti, were the best Atalanta players in terms of ball retrievals (with 5 each). Closing off with Ademola Lookman, who made his Serie A comeback last night after the end of the AFCON commitments, the striker was the Nerazzurri player with the highest number of forward successful passes (15).
