Italian Star Striker Mateo Retegui Makes History with Atalanta
Retegui Sets New Scoring Record in Serie A for Atalanta
Mateo Retegui etched his name into Atalanta’s history books after scoring a decisive goal that secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over his former club Genoa in Matchday 37 of Serie A. The goal, his 25th league strike this season, broke the long-standing club record set by Filippo Inzaghi, who netted 24 goals during the 1996/97 campaign. Link website CakhiaTV
This remarkable achievement not only highlights Retegui’s clinical finishing but also virtually guarantees him the Serie A Golden Boot, as he currently leads the scoring chart by eight goals ahead of runner-up Moise Kean.
A Record-Breaking Debut Season at Bergamo
Since joining Atalanta from Genoa in August last year, the 26-year-old Italian international has been on a sensational run, instantly proving his worth. His latest goal—an 89th-minute strike assisted by Charles De Ketelaere—not only sealed the win for Atalanta but also added a historical touch to an otherwise inconsequential fixture for both teams.
Despite the game having no impact on the final standings—Atalanta having secured third place and Genoa sitting safely mid-table—both sides delivered a thrilling contest filled with goals and drama.
A Goal-Filled Encounter Against Former Teammates
Genoa took the lead with a powerful header from Andrea Pinamonti, but Atalanta responded just after halftime through Ibrahim Sulemana. Pinamonti restored Genoa’s advantage with his second goal in the 58th minute, only for Daniel Maldini to level the score minutes later, finishing off a clever layoff from Retegui himself.
With just seconds left on the clock, Retegui stunned the Luigi Ferraris Stadium with the winning goal—but chose not to celebrate as a sign of respect toward his former club.

A Memorable Night, A Milestone Secured
Retegui’s humility and sportsmanship were on full display, yet the moment remains historic. His 25th goal not only confirms his status as the top scorer of Serie A this season but also places him among the club’s all-time greats.
At just 26, Mateo Retegui is proving to be more than a breakout star—he’s becoming a symbol of Italian football’s next golden generation.
