Atalanta, Retegui scores a goal every 73': Inzaghi's record is one step away

Bergamo, March 11, 2025 – Factor Mateo Retegui, a certainty for theAtalanta that by simply deploying him, they effectively start with a one-goal advantage. With the goal scored from a penalty on Sunday evening atAllianz Stadium the Nerazzurri and Azzurri striker has risen to the top 22 goals in just 26 games of the championship in just 1606 minutes played.

With figures in hand, the Argentine naturalized Italian (one grandfather was from Genoa, one grandmother from Agrigento), in 2021, signs a goal every 73 minutes. He has even scored ten since January, curiously enough, right from the match against Juventus at Gewiss.

When he hasn't scored, Atalanta has never won in the three home draws against Torino, Cagliari and Venezia. This season, also considering the 3 goals scored in the Champions League, he is at 25, but it is in the championship that the former Tiger is traveling with a stratospheric average.

At the beginning of March he had already equalled the record of 22 league goals set byto Luis Muriel four years ago, he is just one goal away from the 23 he scored five years ago. Duvan Zapata and above all he is two goals away undefeated record of the only top scorer in Serie A wearing the Atalanta shirt: Philip Inzaghi, 24 goals in the 1996-97 season.

But at this point SuperPippo's record can no longer be the objective of the Nerazzurri number 32: because with ten games to go this scoring average could lead him to surpass the threshold of 30 goals in a championship, surpassed in the last twenty years only by Luca Toni (2006) Gonzalo Higuain (2016) and Ciro Immobile (2020)
