Atalanta are still top of the 2023-2024 UEFA Europa League Group D after three games and the 2-2 draw away to Sturm Graz. Gasperini’s men lead the pack with 7 points, three points ahead of Sporting and Sturm Graz, paired at 4, and six points clear of Raków, who are on 1 point. The Nerazzurri are still unbeaten after three games just like four other teams in the competition: Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool, Olympique Marsiglia and Roma.

Delving deeper into the Opta Facts provided by Stats Perform, Atalanta have been on target for 15 consecutive away matches in European competitions; moreover, they have scored at least two goals in six of the last eight European away matches. For the first time, the Nerazzurri have remained unbeaten for six consecutive away matches in European competitions (three wins and as many draws), scoring an average of two goals in this streak.

Luis Muriel struck twice in the draw: it was his 13th multiple scoring as a Nerazzurro (subdivided in 12 braces and a hat-trick) and the second time he found the net twice in a single UEL game after his “double tap” in the first-leg match against Bayer Leverkusen back in the 2021/22 campaign. As a plus on the topic, ever since the 2019/20 campaign, the Cafetero striker has scored 13 goals from outside the box.
