Stuttgart v Atalanta: the stats of the game
First Nerazzurro goal for Nicolò Zaniolo
With the Nerazzurri claiming their second win in the UCL League Phase, the MD4 game against Stuttgart also saw Nicolò Zaniolo leave his first mark as an Atalanta player to make it 2-0 for the visitors.
In addition to being one of the two teams (together with Inter) to have not conceded a goal in the first half of their first four UCL games, Atalanta are also the only outfit with an ongoing clean sheet run in the current Champions League campaign. As also pointed out by Opta Facts' Stats Perform, Marco Carnesecchi has become the fourth-ever goalkeeper, joining the likes of Keylor Navas, Kasper Schmeichel and Petr Cech, and first Italian of the list to have not conceded a single goals in all his four starts in the competition.
Back on target, Ademola Lookman has further extended his scoring spree: since the 2023/24 season, no other Serie A players has in fact favoured more goals across all competitions (with a scoring tally of 39 nets, namely 25 scored and 24 assists). Additionally, with 7 goals Mola has entered the top-flight of Atalanta's topscorers in European competition, being only surpassed by the likes of Luis Muriel (12) and Josip Ilicic (11).
As a further plus, likewise since the onset of the 2023/24 campaign, Charles De Ketelaere is the leading Serie A players for most assists provided (17) across all competitions.
With the away win claimed at the MHPArena, Atalanta have also become the team flaunting the highest success ratio in UEFA Champions League road games (54% - 7/13) considering all the teams to have contended at least 10 outings in the history of the whole tournament.
