Serie A Standing BEFORE the game
AC Milan, 3rd position with 29 points and a positive goal difference of +9
Atalanta, 8th position with 20 points and a positive goal difference of +5
Atalanta won the Serie A Week 15 game on Saturday 9 December 2023 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. This is a prestigious victory for Atalanta to help them to climb to the European zone. The big flop is for AC Milan on their quest to keep up the race for the Scudetto. Atalanta reached 23 points, bringing them closer to the Champions League zone. However, Milan remained stuck at 29 points and sees the top of the table move away, perhaps almost definitively. The hero is Luis Muriel who scored the winner goal in the 94th minute.
Atalanta opened the score in the 38th minute. Ademola Lookman defeated AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan with a right-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Teun Koopmeiners.

✅ Stats before the game: Milan have remained unbeaten in their last five Serie A matches against Atalanta (W4, D1): the Rossoneri have not reached six games in a row without losing to the Bergamo side since the period between 2008 and 2012 (six matches in that case). Atalanta have drawn 44 of their 124 Serie A matches against Milan: against no opponent have they had an impact more times in the competition (44 also against Juventus); despite this, only one “X” has arrived in the last six matches between the two teams (1-1 on 21 August 2022), compared to four victories for the Rossoneri and one for the Nerazzurri. Atalanta have won only one of their seven home games against Milan in Serie A with Gian Piero Gasperini on the bench (D3, L3): 5-0 on 22 December 2019; more generally, that is the only one of the last 15 home matches against the Rossoneri in the league in which the Bergamo players kept a clean sheet. Milan have won at least nine of their first 14 Serie A matches for four seasons in a row for only the second time in their history, after also managing to do so between 2002/03 and 2005/06, when he was at the helm of the Rossoneri Carlo Ancelotti. Atalanta have lost 14 Serie A matches in 2023 (17W, 6D) and have not done worse in a single calendar year since 2015 (15); furthermore, after the defeats against Napoli and Turin, the Bergamo team could record three consecutive defeats in the league for the first time since November 2022.
👉 Lineup ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Musso; Zappacosta, Djimsiti, Scalvini, Ruggeri; Pašalić, de Roon, Éderson; Koopmeiners; Lookman, De Ketelaere.
👉 Lineup AC MILAN (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Hernández, Florenzi; Loftus-Cheek, Reijnders, Musah; Chukwueze, Giroud, Pulisic.
