Atalanta dismantle Juventus with emphatic 4-0 victory in Turin

    Key Takeaways:

  • Atalanta secured a historic 4-0 away win over Juventus, marking their biggest-ever victory in Turin
  • This is Juventus’ heaviest home defeat at the Allianz Stadium since its opening in 2011
  • Atalanta strengthened their hold on third place in Serie A, while Juventus risk slipping further down the standings

Atalanta recorded a dominant and crucial 4-0 victory over Juventus in the most anticipated match of Serie A’s 28th round. Matteo Retegui (29’ – penalty), Marten de Roon (46’), Davide Zappacosta (67’), and Ademola Lookman (77’) were on target as Gian Piero Gasperini’s players solidified their grip on third place while effectively ending the Bianconeri’s Scudetto hopes.

This was Atalanta’s biggest-ever away win against Juve. It also marked the first time since October 1967 that the Old Lady suffered a 4-0 home defeat in Serie A when they lost to city rivals Torino. Additionally, Juventus had not conceded four or more goals at home in a league match since January 2011, when Parma won 4-1. As a result, this is their heaviest defeat at the Allianz Stadium, which was inaugurated in September 2011. Atalanta not only extended their unbeaten run at the venue to seven games but also handed Juventus just their second Serie A loss of the season.

Atalanta now hold sole possession of third place with 58 points, maintaining a three-point gap to league leaders Inter ahead of their head-to-head clash in the next round. Juventus remain fourth with 52 points, seeing their five-game league winning streak come to an end and facing the risk of being overtaken by fifth-placed Lazio if they win against tenth-placed Udinese.
