Atalanta Player Ratings vs Parma

Goalkeeper

Marco Carnesecchi - 7.0: A relatively quiet day for the keeper but he did what was required. He made two important saves inside the box to preserve his clean sheet. What stood out to us was his distribution, finding teammates with impressive accuracy. A solid, confident performance between the sticks.

Defenders

Giorgio Scalvini - 7.5: A colossal performance at the back. He was an absolute rock, making 7 clearances and 3 vital interceptions. From our perspective, he read the game beautifully, always seeming to be in the right place at the right time. He handled everything Parma threw at him with composure. Really impressive stuff.

Honest Ahanor - 7.0: A very decent game for the defender. He was strong in his duels and made some crucial blocks and clearances. He even got forward and had a good shot saved late in the game. He committed a couple of needless fouls, but overall, it was a strong showing contributing to the clean sheet.

Berat Djimsiti - 6.5: Only played the first 45 minutes. He was tidy in possession with excellent passing accuracy. However he didn't have a massive impact before being substituted at halftime. Did his job without any fuss, but the team looked just as solid without him.

Davide Zappacosta - 6.5: A mixed bag of a performance. He was defensively sound for the most part, but we noticed he lost possession quite a bit when trying to go forward. He put in a shift for the full 90 minutes but wasn't as influential in attack as we've seen him be in other games.

Midfielders

Marten de Roon - 8.5: A true captain's display. He was simply magnificent. He scored a fantastic goal, controlled the tempo of the game, and created two chances for his teammates. His leadership was evident all over the pitch. One of the best players on the field, without a doubt.

Éderson - 7.0: An all-action performance in the middle of the park. His energy was infectious, and he recovered the ball an incredible 9 times. He was a bit wasteful with his shooting and committed a few too many fouls for our liking. Still, his work rate was essential to Atalanta's dominance.

Nicola Zalewski - 7.5: He was electric on the wing. His clever movement won the penalty that broke the deadlock, a huge moment in the match. He was a constant threat with his dribbling until he was substituted after an hour. A really positive and impactful display.

Forwards

Gianluca Scamacca - 7.0: Scored the opening goal from the penalty spot with no trouble at all. However, he missed a big chance and got himself a yellow card. It was a strange performance; he got his goal but you felt he could have offered more before being taken off.

Charles De Ketelaere - 9.0: Simply outstanding. The highest-rated player on the pitch for us. He was the creative engine of the team, providing a beautiful assist and creating four chances, including two big ones. His vision and movement were on a completely different level. A joy to watch.

Giacomo Raspadori - 8.0: He was a constant menace to the Parma defence and deservedly got his goal. He took five shots, always looking to make something happen. His link-up play was excellent, and he never gave the defenders a moment's rest. A top performance.

Substitutes

Isak Hien - 6.5: Came on at halftime and slotted in seamlessly. He helped maintain the defensive solidity and even had a powerful header saved. A reliable and solid contribution.

Nikola Krstovic - 7.5: What an impact. Came off the bench and grabbed a goal in stoppage time. He looked lively and hungry from the moment he stepped on the pitch. You can't ask for more from a substitute.

Lorenzo Bernasconi - 6.5: Did his job effectively after coming on. He put in a great cross that led to a decent chance. Looked comfortable and contributed positively to the team's control.

Mario Pasalic - 6.5: Entered the fray when the game was already won but still managed to grab an assist for a chance. Kept possession well and ensured the team saw out the win with ease.

Ademola Lookman - 6.0: A brief but energetic cameo. He had a couple of shots and looked to run at the tired Parma defence. Didn't have a huge impact but showed good intent.

Manager

R. Palladino - 8.5: His game plan was executed to perfection. Atalanta were aggressive, organized, and ruthless. His substitutions were spot on, with Krstovic adding another goal. A flawless tactical display from the manager.

Parma Player Ratings vs Atalanta

Goalkeeper

Edoardo Corvi - 6.0: A difficult day to be a goalkeeper. He conceded four goals, but frankly, it could have been six or seven without him. He made four saves, a couple of which were top-drawer. He was let down by the defence in front of him.

Defenders

Mariano Troilo - 7.5: We thought he was Parma's best defender by a mile. He was fighting a losing battle but never gave up, making a staggering 11 clearances and even one off the line. Showed real heart and determination in a defence that was collapsing around him.

Lautaro Valenti - 5.5: A torrid time against a rampant Atalanta attack. He made a few blocks but was part of a backline that was completely overwhelmed. His day ended with an unfortunate injury. Not a game he'll want to remember.

Alessandro Circati - 5.0: Looked completely out of his depth in the first half. He struggled to cope with the movement and pace of the attackers. It was no surprise to see him hooked at halftime. A really tough 45 minutes for the young defender.

Midfielders

Enrico Delprato - 5.5: The captain tried to lead by example, throwing his body on the line with blocks and clearances. However, the midfield battle was completely lost. He was overrun and struggled to get a foothold in the game. A very difficult afternoon.

Mandela Keita - 6.5: He was one of the few Parma players who can hold his head high. He fought hard, won his duels, and used the ball well when he had it. His energy was impressive, but he was fighting a one-man battle in midfield at times.

Nahuel Estévez - 5.5: A very quiet first half before his substitution. He created one chance but was otherwise a ghost. He couldn't impose himself on the game at all and the match just passed him by.

Sascha Britschgi - 4.5: What a disaster. Conceding the penalty for the first goal was a clumsy and crucial error that changed the game. He tried to make amends by creating a couple of chances, but the damage was done. From our perspective, that moment killed any momentum Parma had.

Forwards

Adrián Bernabé - 8.0: He was absolutely brilliant. In a team that was so comprehensively beaten, he was the one shining light. Creating seven chances is an incredible stat. He was let down by his teammates' poor finishing. He deserved so much more from this game.

Adrian Benedyczak - 5.0: A really poor showing. He had one big chance that he failed to convert and offered next to nothing else. It was an easy decision to substitute him at halftime. Just not his day.

Oliver Sørensen - 5.5: He had one decent opportunity in the first half which he blazed over the bar. Other than that, he was completely anonymous. He struggled to get involved in the play and made very little impact before being substituted.

Substitutes

Emanuele Valeri - 6.5: An improvement on Circati. He looked more composed and even got forward to set up a couple of chances. A decent second-half showing.

Gaetano Oristanio - 6.0: Looked busy and tried to make things happen, but his final product was lacking. Had one shot that went well over.

Mateo Pellegrino - 6.0: At least he got into scoring positions. He had a couple of chances after coming on, forcing one save. More of a threat than the player he replaced.

Jacob Ondrejka - 6.0: Added a bit of urgency in his cameo. He had a couple of shots, one of which wasn't far away. A lively substitute.

Christian Ordóñez - N/A: Brought on for the final few minutes with the game long gone. Not enough time to make any sort of impact.

Manager

C. Antón Cuesta - 5.0: His team was tactically outclassed from the first whistle. The initial setup was all wrong, and they were carved open far too easily. The halftime changes helped a little, but the game was already lost. A humbling experience for the manager.
