But, as things went badly, thousands of shuffling feet at the stadium grumbled in defeat as Atalanta handed Monza its fifth consecutive loss. On Monday night at Brianteo Stadium in Italy, Matteo Pessina played against his former club, Atalanta, where he recorded 67 caps before going on loan to the club representing his native Monza. Atalanta dominated possession for 46% of the first 45 minutes. In the 2022/23 Serie A season to date, Atalanta had not conceded defeat, sitting in third with three wins and two draws. The Monza-born midfielder Pessina made a name for himself during Italy’s reign at Euro 2020. Historically, Atalanta defeated Monza four times out of five in their previous matchups.

Atalanta is now on top of the league with 13 points, two ahead of Napoli and champion AC Milan.
