Atalanta’s stats in Serie A

The campaign that has just come to an end gave us great satisfaction, broken records and a prestigious finish. The official statistics of the 2019-20 Serie A TIM season provided by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A also testify that it was a season to remember. Gasperini's team tops different rankings.

In addition to the most goals scored (98 with an average of 2.58 goals per game), the Nerazzurri top also the shots table with 534 total finishes, 313 of which were on goal (this was also the best data in the Serie A) and the assists table (61). Second place for corners (247) and headers (14). Among the other items considered, Atalanta are fourth for total ball possession (28'31 average per game), third for ball possession in the opponent's midfield (13'15 average), ninth for average km run per game (108.249 km) and useful crosses (210), sixth for posts and crossbar (16), seventh for offsides (52). With 102 saves made, Atalanta are eighteenth, which is a good data as it means that the defence conceded few finishes. Lastly, a curious data: the Nerazzurri's matches lasted less on average, 95'38 minutes of playing time (while the actual time, 51'22, was the ninth value in Serie A).
