Atalanta celebrated a victory against Venezia, but the real protagonist of the evening was Nikola Krstović, who scored a decisive brace and achieved a new personal best. With his thirteenth goal in Serie A for the Nerazzurri, the Croatian center forward entered the Top 20 of the team's most prolific strikers, as well as becoming the sixth foreign player with the most goalscorers in Atalanta's history, behind Duvan Zapata, German Denis, Jørgen Leschly, Evair and Jeppson.
The match, played in Bergamo, was characterized by a more difficult second half for the Nerazzurri, but Krstović's goals guaranteed the victory. In addition to scoring, the player has proven to be a builder and finisher, also contributing in the construction phase of the game. Despite his growth, the midfielder acknowledged that there is still a lot to improve to reach the goal of double-digit goals in a season.
The record achieved by Krstović was welcomed with enthusiasm by the club, which sees him as a key element for Maurizio Sarri's ambitious project, which aims to compete in both Serie A and the Conference League. The center forward expressed gratitude for the support received and underlined the importance of continuing to work hard to reach new goals.
With the victory against Venezia, Atalanta consolidated their position in the standings, while Krstović continued to be an offensive point of reference. The club and the player look to the future with the hope of consolidating their position among the leaders of the championship and reaching new records in the next matches.
