Atalanta secured a historic 4-0 away win against Juventus, marking their biggest victory over the Turin giants. Mateo Retegui opened the scoring with a 26th-minute penalty, while Ademola Lookman, Marten de Roon, and Davide Zappacosta added goals. Atalanta, now just three points behind Serie A leaders Inter, also extended their clean sheet streak to five matches, boosting their title aspirations.

In the Serie A title race, Atalanta stunned Juventus with a historic 4-0 victory at the Allianz Stadium. This dominant win cemented Atalanta's third-place position and brought them within three points of league leaders Inter Milan. Mateo Retegui opened the scoring in the 26th minute via a penalty after Weston McKennie’s handball.

Ademola Lookman was instrumental in Atalanta’s attack, assisting Marten de Roon’s goal early in the second half. Davide Zappacosta extended the lead with a well-placed finish following Sead Kolasinac’s clever backheel pass. Lookman sealed the emphatic win in the 77th minute with a deflected strike off Lloyd Kelly, leaving Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio helpless.

This victory marked Atalanta’s first-ever away win against Juventus by a margin o two or more goals in Serie A history. Retegui has been prolific on the road, scoring 14 of his 22 league goals away from home. Defensively, Atalanta recorded their fifth consecutive clean sheet, a feat they have achieved only four times in their history.

With Juventus now trailing Atalanta by six points, their title hopes are fading, while Atalanta's resurgence has injected fresh excitement into the Scudetto race.
