Young Boys v Atalanta: the stats of the game

By defeating Swiss side Young Boys 6-1 in the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League League Phase MD5 not only did the Nerazzurri claim their third win in the current continental campaign but they've also become the second-ever Italian team to register a UCL away triumph with a 6-goals haul. As a further statistical insight, for the first time in their logs in European competition, Atalanta have scored four goals in the opening 45 minutes.

By leaving the pitch with 3 assists and 2 nets to his name, Charles De Ketelaere has become the first Belgian player, enrolled in an Italian side nonetheless, to have favoured 5 goals in a single Champions League match. Additionally, as further contextualized by Stats Perform's Opta Facts the black-and-blue number 17 is but the second Serie A player to have managed to both provide a key-pass and score a goal in the same game on four different occasions thus far across all competitions. Out of all players across the Big-5 European leagues, only Kevin De Bruyne (with 17) has churned out more key passes than his compatriot (with CDK currently registering 16, on par with Mohamed Salah).

Thanks to the 2 goals scored against the Helvetic side Mateo Retegui has become the third-ever Atalanta player to have bagged a brace in European competition, following in the footsteps of Gianluca Scamacca and Bryan Cristante.

Closing off with Sead Kolašinac and e Lazar Samardžić, the Wankdorf Stadion set the scenery for the Bosnian and Serbian's Champions League scoring debuts - namely, with the latter netting his third European goal after the two Europa League nets bagged in his Arsenal days.
