Atalanta humiliated Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy.  Depending on the outcomes of tonight and tomorrow’s matches, Atalanta has momentarily climbed to third in the League Phase standings with 14 points. This means Gasperini’s squad still has a chance to secure a spot in the top eight, which would help them steer clear of the playoffs, a stage they are already mathematically set to enter. On the other hand, Sturm Graz has been officially eliminated, as their three points leave them unable to reach 24th place in the standings.

This marks their first European match of 2025, and the team is currently going through a tough patch, having not secured a victory in the past month. In their last five outings, including Serie A and the Italian Super Cup, Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad has managed only three draws and two losses. In the Champions League standings, the Nerazzurri find themselves in thirteenth place, which, with two matches remaining in the group stage, would still give them a chance to reach the playoffs for the round of 16.

Atalanta struck first in the 12th minute when Mateo Retegui found the back of the net with a close-range right-footed shot. The setup came from Davide Zappacosta. An error by Aiwu led to Samardzic receiving the ball; he was just outside the area and then laid it off to Zappacosta. Zappacosta, wearing number 77, sent a pass back to Retegui, who simply tapped in the opening goal.

Stats before the game

Atalanta and Sturm Graz have faced each other just twice, both during last season’s Europa League group stage. The Nerazzurri managed to remain unbeaten in both encounters, drawing 2-2 away and securing a 1-0 victory at home. Interestingly, no Austrian team has ever triumphed over an Italian side in the Champions League.

This match will mark the 15th clash between teams from these two nations in the tournament, with Italian teams boasting 11 wins and three draws to date. Atalanta has struggled at home in the Champions League, going winless in their last five matches (three draws and two losses), including a narrow 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in their latest home game. Their only victory in the last ten home matches (with five draws and four losses) came back in September 2021 against Young Boys, where they won 1-0.

UEFA Champions League Tickets

Sturm Graz has managed to secure only one victory in their 15 away matches in the Champions League, which translates to a win rate of just 6.7% (with 2 draws and 12 losses). Among teams that have played at least 15 away games in this competition, only AEK Athens (0%) and Celtic (4.8%) have lower win percentages.

Recently, Sturm Graz found the net three times in their last two Champions League fixtures, a notable improvement compared to just one goal in their prior six matches. In contrast, Atalanta has allowed four goals in their last two tournament games, matching the total they conceded in their previous ten matches across major European competitions.

Napoli triumphed over Atalanta with a score of 3-2 at the Gewiss Stadium. This victory marks Napoli’s sixth straight win in the league, solidifying their top position with 50 points, while Atalanta remains in third place with 43 points. Napoli is clearly leading the charge for the Scudetto, leaving the other teams trailing behind. Retegui opened the scoring in the 16th minute, followed by Politano’s goal in the 27th minute, and McTominay extended the lead in the 40th minute. In the second half, Lookman leveled the score with a brilliant individual effort in the 55th minute, but Lukaku netted the winning goal with a header in the 78th minute, assisted twice by Anguissa.

The battle for the Scudetto is heating up.  Inter secured a solid 3-1 victory against Empoli. Although the scoreline suggests a comfortable win, the Nerazzurri faced some challenges throughout the match. The team’s success was largely due to their standout players: Lautaro opened the scoring, followed by Dumfries and Thuram sealing the deal, with Esposito adding a moment of joy by netting the temporary 2-1. With this win, Inter with 47 points maintains a 3-point lead over Napoli with 50 points as they await their rescheduled match against Fiorentina.  In their next Serie A fixture, Inter will take on Lecce, while Empoli will go up against Bologna.

Roma triumphed thanks to goals from Dovbyk, Stephan El Shaarawy, and the own goal by Nicola Leali, while Masini managed to equalize temporarily for Genoa. Paulo Dybala’s outstanding performance added flair to a convincing display by Ranieri’s Roma, who are inching closer to the European spots. Roma reached 27 points while Genoa remained with 23 points.

Lazio conquered the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.  This game marks Hellas Verona’s first under new ownership and failed to secure their first victory of 2025 against their former coach, Marco Baroni.  Verona faced another tough defeat at the Bentegodi, suffering a heavy loss to Lazio.  Verona were once again let down by significant defensive mistakes, with Gigot scoring from a header and Dia easily finding the net during a counterattack in the first half. In the second half, Zaccagni capitalized on a defensive error to add to the score. Zanetti’s squad only showed some fight in the last five minutes of the first half, creating three solid opportunities but failing to convert any.

Juventus currently holds the fourth spot in the standings with 37 points, marking their 21st consecutive positive result. Meanwhile, Milan, who hadn’t faced defeat since December 6 against Atalanta, sits at eighth place with 31 points, although they still have a game to catch up on. Juventus celebrated their first win of 2025 by defeating Milan, thanks to a quick one-two from Mbangula and Weah within five minutes around the hour mark. Conceiçao’s team struggled to create any chances in the second half and failed to respond effectively after the Bianconeri’s goals, making it a night to forget for the Rossoneri.

Bologna celebrated a fantastic victory today, bringing their total points to 33, while Monza remains in last place with 13 points. Mariani praised the thrilling match filled with goals, which ended in favor of the home team. Daniel Maldini opened the scoring just 4 minutes in, but Castro equalized in the 22nd minute. Odgaard then put Bologna ahead with a goal in the 34th minute. The second half continued at a fast pace, and in the 69th minute, after a brief response from Brianza, Orsolini extended the lead to 3-1 with a well-placed shot following a cross from Lykogiannis. Looking ahead, Vincenzo Italiano and Bocchetti’s teams will face Empoli away and Genoa at home, respectively. The match concluded at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna!

Parma and Venezia ended with a 1-1 draw at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.  Venezia managed to secure a draw in Parma, largely due to their goalkeeper’s outstanding performance. The Venetians have now accumulated 15 points but still find themselves in second-to-last place in the standings. This draw allows the ducal team to rise to 15th place with a total of 20 points. In their upcoming match, Pecchia’s squad will take on Milan at San Siro. Notably, the duel between Camara and Stankovic was a highlight, with the 22-year-old talent successfully thwarting all of the Parma midfielder’s scoring attempts. Stankovic, a gem from the Inter academy, was recognized as the best player on the field once again.

Italian Serie A

Fiorentina and Torino ended the Serie A Week 21 with a draw at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Fiorentina found themselves tied at 1-1 with Torino, even with an extra player after Ali Dembele’s red card. Moise Kean initially put Torino ahead, but Gineitis managed to level the score following a significant mistake by Comuzzo, who lost possession during the build-up.

Cagliari triumphed over Lecce in a spectacular fashion at the Unipol Domus. Cagliari’s performance was nothing short of a knockout, as they secured three vital points in their quest for safety. Lecce initially took the lead with a goal from Pierotti in the 42nd minute, but they seemed to fade in the second half. Cagliari made a dramatic comeback, with Gaetano equalizing in the 60th minute, followed by Luperto’s goal just five minutes later. Zortea completed a hat-trick with his strike in the 80th minute, and Obert added another in the 83rd minute. Lecce ended the match with ten players after Rebic received a red card in the 73rd minute.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 47 points and a positive goal difference of +20
Atalanta, 3rd position with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +23

Napoli triumphed over Atalanta with a score of 3-2 in the Serie A Week 21 match held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. This victory marks Napoli’s sixth straight win in the league, solidifying their top position with 50 points, while Atalanta remains in third place with 43 points. Napoli is clearly leading the charge for the Scudetto, leaving the other teams trailing behind.

Retegui opened the scoring in the 16th minute, followed by Politano’s goal in the 27th minute, and McTominay extended the lead in the 40th minute. In the second half, Lookman leveled the score with a brilliant individual effort in the 55th minute, but Lukaku netted the winning goal with a header in the 78th minute, assisted twice by Anguissa.

Looking ahead, Atalanta will travel to Como for their next match, while Napoli will host Juventus.

The action starts…

Atalanta opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Mateo Retegui found the back of the net with a powerful left-footed shot into the top left corner. Napoli’s goalkeeper, Alex Meret, had no chance to stop it. The ball came to Retegui after a rebound, and he skillfully placed it under the crossbar from inside the area.

Napoli leveled the score at 1-1 in the 27th minute. Matteo Politano found the back of the net with a powerful left-footed shot aimed at the upper center. After a cross from Neres was deflected by Djimsiti, Politano skillfully controlled the ball in the box and struck it past goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi with a left-footed effort just beneath the crossbar.

Napoli turned the game around to take the advantage. In the 40th minute, Scott McTominay found the net with a powerful right-footed shot aimed at the top center. Frank Anguissa provided the assist. The play began with a clever backheel from Neres, followed by Anguissa’s setup, allowing McTominay to score past Carnesecchi from the heart of the box.

Amazing! The game is heating up once more. Atalanta has leveled the score to 2-2 in the 55th minute. Ademola Lookman found the net with a left-footed strike into the bottom right corner. Lookman showcased his skills by dancing past Di Lorenzo, making his way into the box, and firing a left-footed shot into the corner, leaving Meret with no opportunity to save it.

Bim, bam, boom! Napoli has done it again, turning the game around in the 78th minute. Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian forward, found the back of the net with a powerful header right in the center. The assist came from Frank Anguissa, who delivered a perfect cross for Lukaku to nod in from just a few steps away from the goal.

Stats before the game

Atalanta has secured victories in their last two Serie A encounters with Napoli, both ending in a 3–0 scoreline. The last time the Bergamo side managed to win three consecutive matches against the Partenopei was from April 1997 to February 1998, when they achieved three straight 1–0 victories under coach Emiliano Mondonico. However, Atalanta has faced challenges at home, losing their last three Serie A matches against Napoli, marking the longest losing streak at home against a single opponent in this competition.

The last time they experienced four or more consecutive home losses was against Juventus, spanning from January 2005 to March 2016, totaling nine defeats before Gian Piero Gasperini took charge.

Buy Serie A tickets

Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 15 league matches (11W, 4D), but have drawn all of their last three; only between January and July 2020 have the Bergamo team collected more consecutive games without defeat (17 in that case – 13W, 4D) and they have not drawn four consecutive games since the period between April and May 2015.

Atalanta have scored in all of their last 25 home games in Serie A (63 goals, 2.5 on average per game), already a record streak for the Bergamo team in the competition; only Inter (32) have a longer open streak of home games with goals.

Napoli have won their last five Serie A games, the three most recent without conceding a goal; under Antonio Conte, the Neapolitans have never gone beyond three clean sheets in a row, nor beyond five consecutive wins.

Napoli have won seven of their first 10 away games this season (D2 L1) and have only twice won more than seven of their first 11 away games of the season: 10 in 2017/18, when they finished in second place, and nine in 2022/23, the season they won their last Scudetto.

Player Stats

Mateo Retegui has made quite an impact in Serie A, netting 20 goals since he started competing last season, which is the highest tally for any Italian player during that time. Specifically, he has scored 13 goals in just 18 matches this season. The last Atalanta player to achieve a better single-season record was Cristiano Doni back in 2001/02, who scored 16 goals.

Meanwhile, in his last two league matches, Romelu Lukaku has contributed one goal against Fiorentina and assisted two others—one against Fiorentina and another against Hellas Verona. Notably, the Napoli striker has only managed to score in three consecutive Serie A games once before, during February and March 2021 with Inter, where he set a personal best of four.
