Atalanta lost against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League Knockout Playoff’s second leg on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. Having lost the first leg 1-2, the Orobici failed to turn things around.  Atalanta’s European journey comes to an early end, just like AC Milan’s. It’s a significant letdown for the team.

Brugge leads the first half with a commanding 3-0 score. The second half kicks off with a spark of hope as Ademola Lookman, a new addition, scores quickly. Unfortunately, Lookman later misses a penalty that could have turned the tide. Following that, Atalanta struggles with confidence and composure, highlighted by Toloi’s red card for a reckless reaction to De Cuyper. And just like that, Atalanta is out of the Champions League.

⚫️🔵
What a rough beginning! Just three minutes in, Club Brugge has taken the lead. Chemsdine Talbi found the back of the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Ferran Jutglà. Vaneken played a vertical pass to Jutgla, who then set up Talbi at the edge of the box, allowing him to skillfully get past Carnesecchi!

It’s chaos for Atalanta! Brugge nets another goal in the 27th minute. Chemsdine Talbi finds the net for @ClubBrugge_en with a right-footed shot aimed at the upper center following a swift break. Jashari delivered a great pass to Tzolis, and while Carnesecchi made an impressive save, he was unable to stop Talbi’s tap-in. The situation is getting tough for the Goddess. Aggregate score: 1-4.

This is turning into a nightmare! Atalanta is in trouble! Brugge scored yet again in the 45+3 minute, with Ferran Jutglà finding the back of the net with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner, assisted by Christos Tzolis. Following a double post from the Goddess, Brugge launched a fierce counterattack, and Jutglà struck once more with a brilliant rebound shot from the edge of the area, beating Carnesecchi again!

Atalanta closed the gap just after halftime in the 46th minute. Ademola Lookman found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. Davide Zappacosta provided the assist, making an instant impression as he directed Zappacosta’s low cross past Mignolet!

Atalanta is having a rough day, that’s for sure. In the 61st minute, Ademola Lookman had a chance to score from the penalty spot but couldn’t find the net. Brugge’s keeper Mignolet anticipated the shot and made a fantastic save! Ouch!

✅  Stats before the game

Atalanta has successfully advanced in their first two knockout rounds after losing the first leg in significant European tournaments. This occurred during the 1987/88 European Cup Winners’ Cup against Merthyr Tydfil in the first round and OFI in the round of 16. However, they have faced elimination in their last three knockout ties after dropping the first leg.

Club Brugge managed to defeat Atalanta in the first leg with a score of 2-1. Interestingly, the Belgians have been eliminated 16 times after winning their first knockout match in major European competitions. It is the highest number for any team in history.

The last time Club Brugge secured an away victory against an Italian team in European competition was in October 2003, when they won 1-0 against Milan in the Champions League. Since then, they have struggled, failing to win any of their last seven away matches against Italian sides in Europe (with 2 draws and 5 losses), including a 3-1 defeat to Milan this season.

Atalanta recently triumphed in their last home Champions League match, defeating Sturm Graz 5-0. This victory came after a tough stretch where they had not won any of their previous five home games (with 3 draws and 2 losses). They now have the chance to secure back-to-back wins at the Gewiss Stadium for the first time in this competition. They previously played at the Meazza in the 2019/20 season, where they beat both Dinamo Zagreb and Valencia.
