Atalanta, Mateo Retegui raises the bar even higher
At the moment, the former Genoa è center forward is on 22 goals
Mateo Retegui does not stop anymore. Thanks to the penalty with which he opened the scoring in the Juventus-Atalanta match, è has reached 22 league goals (25 on the season, including four on penalty kicks). His lead over his first pursuer in the Serie A scorers’ chart, namely Moise Kean, è by as many as seven goals.
In short, the title of top scorer in the Italian top league è getting closer and closer. Should he succeed, he would be the second player in the history of La Dea to win the prestigious trophy for the best scorer of the season in Serie A. The'only Atalantino to have succeeded, at the moment, è Pippo Inzaghi.
To the Inter coach's brother also belongs the record of goals scored in a single season in Serie A. Pippo Inzaghi scored 24 in the 1996/97 season, the season of the top scorer title. Mateo retegui è just two goals behind Pippo Inzaghi with 10 matches still to be played in the league.
But that's not all. The national team striker can still hope for the Golden Shoe. The gap to Momo Salah, Liverpool striker, è still important (10 points, or five goals) but not impossible to close, especially if Mateo Retegui will continue to score as he has done since the beginning of the current season.
