Why Retegui's 25th Atalanta goal was legendary
Mateo Retegui has made history as the all-time Atalanta top scorer in a single Serie A season, but also broke Alessandro Del Piero's particular record. The striker was on target to secure the 3-2 victory away to his old club Genoa this evening at Marassi and that allowed him to consolidate his status as Capocannoniere. Advertisement It was his 25th goal of the campaign in Serie A, breaking the club record of 24 that had been set by Pippo Inzaghi in the 1996-97 campaign. Retegui breaks Inzaghi and Del Piero records TURIN, ITALY – JANUARY 04: Filippo Inzaghi, Head Coach of US Salernitana, looks on prior to the Coppa Italia Round of 16 match between Juventus FC and US Salernitana at Allianz Stadium on January 04, 2024 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) This is not all, because Retegui also broke another rather unusual record that confirmed his versatility as a centre-forward. Since Opta began collating the results in 2005-06, Alessandro Del Piero at Juventus in 2007-08 was the only player to have scored at least 10 goals with his left foot and 10 with his right in a single Serie A season. Alessandro Del Piero looks on during a press conference at Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano on June 03, 2024 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) Retegui's tally this term is 10 left-footed goals, five with his head, and today he got the 10th with his right foot.

Gasperini reignites Roma's interest in Gudmundsson
Roma are looking to boost their midfield ahead of next season. With the arrival of Gian Piero Gasperini on the bench, one of the club's priorities is to give the veteran coach a new attacking midfielder. Advertisement Among the names that have returned to the notebook of the Giallorossi club is that of Albert Gudmundsson. According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma have rekindled their interest in the Icelandic striker owned by Genoa, who has had an excellent season in Serie A. The player, who will not be signed permanently by Fiorentina, is considered a versatile option, capable of acting both as a second striker and as an offensive winger, as well as guaranteeing quality in the finishing and a strong propensity for scoring in the midfield. Genoa, aware of the growing interest around its number ten, have set a significant pricetag. Roma, for their part, are studying the margins for a possible operation, in light of the available budget and possible exits.
