5 questions about Atalanta’s season

Trivia Tuesday, the five Nerazzurri-themed questions to test our fans' knowledge, is back. Another extraordinary season came to an end on Wednesday 12 August and that was the best in the history of Atalanta. Let's relive it through 5 stats: how many do you know?

1) Who made the most appearances?

Papu Gomez

With 46 appearances out of 48 games played by the Nerazzurri, our captain is that player that was used the most by Gian Piero Gasperini, also based on the minutes played (3610'). Behind him, de Roon and Pašalić with 45 appearances and Malinovskyi with 44.

2) Who was the Atalanta top scorer?

Josip Iličić

Despite his extended absence, the Slovenian is the Atalanta player that scored the most goals: 21 goals (15 in Serie A, 1 in the Coppa Italia and 5 in the Champions League), all scored before the lockdown. Behind him, with 19 goals each, Colombia's duo Zapata and Muriel.

3) Who made the most assists?

Papu Gomez

The captain also tops this ranking, thanks to his 16 assists provided between Serie A (14) and the Champions League (2).

4) How many goals were scored this season?

116

This was the most prolific season ever. Atalanta almost scored 100 goals in Serie A (98 in total), to which we add Iličić's goal in the Coppa Italia and the 17 goals in Champions League.

5) How many saves did our goalkeepers make in Serie A?

102

Atalanta sit in third from last place in this special ranking, as evidence of the excellent work in the defensive phase. Gollini, Sportiello and Rossi only conceded 48 goals and, thanks also to that, Atalanta are the fifth best defence in the league.
