Record-breaking Atalanta crowns Retegui top scorer in Serie A and rises to 74 points

Bergamo, 18 May 2025 – Fly theAtalanta, even without any more ranking objectives to chase. The Goddess won in a comeback by 3-2 on the Genoa pitch has achieved its fifth victory in the last six matchdays (including a draw with Lecce) and has climbed to the top 74 points, setting a new record, the third best result ever after the 78 points of the two consecutive seasons 2019-20 and 2020-21, improving the 72 points of the 2016-17 season.

Gasperini mania

All records set in these nine years of Gasp's cycle, honoured before the match by the ovations of the 525 Nerazzurri fans present in the away section of Marassi and with a banner reading “Gaspersempre”, to hope for his permanence in black and blue also for next season.

Meanwhile Gasperini, who is talking about the future with the Percassi, wants to finish with a bang: after Genoa now all that's missing is the home match against Parma to rise to 77 points.

The bomber

Meanwhile, Atalanta has set another record: for the second time in its history it has the almost certain top scorer of Serie A, Mateo Retegui climbed to share of 25 goals (he is eight ahead of Kean), surpassing the record of the previous Nerazzurri's only top scorer, Pippo Inzaghi, 24 goals in 1996-97.

  Millennials

  From the Genoa trip, Gasp wanted the three points, obtained in a comeback, and positive responses from the many bench players, all millennials, lined up together. Responses arrived: the 20-year-old Milanese winger did very well Marco Palestra, the Brescian did his part Marco Bresciani, an assist for the 23 year old from Bergamo Matteo ruggeri, and one goal each for the 22-year-old Ibrahim Sulemana, his second goal in five days after the one against Roma, and for the not yet 24-year-old Daniel Maldini who finally, in his first start, found his first goal in an Atalanta shirt, breaking a goalscoring drought that had lasted since January. Important goal for Maldini, who could have shaken a monkey off his shoulders. Good response also from The Ketelaere, author of the assist for the third goal scored by the top scorer Retegui who will now try to round off the spoils in the last match against Parma.
