Atalanta are out of European competition next season.  Atalanta lost the Serie A Week 38 game against Empoli on Saturday 21 May 2022 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. Empoli conquered the Gewiss Stadium with this important away victory. A tough defeat for Atalanta because it means being officially excluded from European competition next season after 5 seasons. Fiorentina defeated Juventus and hence ended in the 7th position. Atalanta remained in the 8th position.

Empoli opened the score in the 79th minute. Leo Stulac with a right-footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Nedim Bajrami.

✅ Stats before the game. Atalanta have avoided defeat in 10 of their last 11 games against Empoli in Serie A (W6 D4) keeping six clean sheets. Atalanta have never lost in nine home games against Empoli in Serie A (W4 D5) – among the sides against which the Dea are unbeaten at home in the top-flight, only against Catania have they played more matches (14). Atalanta have picked up 59 points in Serie A 2021/22; in the previous five seasons under Gian Piero Gasperini, the 2017/18 is the campaign in which they gained the fewest points (60). Under Gasperini, Atalanta have always qualified for European competition at the end of the season. Considering only the second part of this season, Atalanta would be 12th place in the standings with 21 points in 18 games, while Empoli would be 19th with 11 points in 18 matches. The Dea had instead closed the first half of the season in 4th place with 38 points while Empoli were in 9th position with 27 points. Atalanta have only won one of their last 10 league games at Gewiss Stadium (D5 L4): 4-0 against Sampdoria in February. The Dea could also draw three home games in a row in Serie A for the first time since February 2016.

👉 Lineup Atalanta: Musso, de Roon, Palomino, Djimsiti, Hateboer, Koopmeiners, Freuler, Zappacosta, Pašalić, Zapata, Boga.

👉 Lineup Empoli: Vicario, Stojanovic, Viti, Luperto, Cacace, Zurkowski, Asllani, Bandinelli, Henderson, Cutrone, La Mantia.
