Atalanta, the numbers of the crisis: 8 defeats since January, only one goal against Gewiss since February

Bergamo, 7 April 2025 – In 2025 theAtalanta have collected just 15 points in 13 games of the championship, adding the various cups the balance is justwith 19 points in 17 games overall. Just over a point per game. Another fact: the Goddess in the new year has lost almost half of the matches played, 8 out of 17. Another worrying fact: the last Nerazzurri goal at Gewiss in the championship dates back to February 1st against Torino. These are the numbers of the Nerazzurri crisis, certified by the negative streak of three consecutive defeats against Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio.

Yet Atalanta still has one's destiny in one's hands, with a lead in the Champions race of two points over Juventus, three over Roma and five over Lazio. Gasperini, however, among the various problems, has one above all: the bench is not giving absolutely nothing since the beginning of January. Total zero goals from substitutes in the league.

The Ketelaere hasn't scored since December 22nd, Samardzic even since October, Maldini Since he's been in Bergamo, not only has he never scored, but with him on the pitch, the Goddess has never scored a goal. Brescianini he hasn't scored since December either, Pasalic he scored a goall in the 5-0 at Empoli, Cuadrado he has never scored this season and the list should also include Scamacca, who played only twenty minutes against Torino before getting injured, and Zaniolo, who made a handful of appearances in January.

Worrying numbers, because the bench had been occupied between October and December  Atalanta's extra weapon, almost always capable of winning matches in the final half hour, always winning by one or two goals in the last 30-35 minutes. The exact opposite of what has been happening since the end of January: against Juventus and against Como, the Goddess had scored decisive goals in the last half hour. For two and a half months - except for the three binges in the two 5-0 against Empoli and Verona and in the 4-0 against Juventus - the Nerazzurri do not score again in the final half hour: against Torino, Cagliari, Venezia, Inter, Fiorentina, Lazio and in the double Champions League clash against Bruges, and in the one with Bologna in the Coppa Italia, no goals arrived in the last 35 minutes, precisely because of the lack of contribution from the bench. The crisis in scoring and performance of Gasperini's team goes analyzed even in this respect.
