Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio enters the new season with a provisional balance placing them in 7th place in Serie A at the end of the 2025/26 campaign. The Bergamo-based side finished with 59 points, collected across 15 wins, 14 draws and 9 losses in 38 matches, with a recent patchy run (DLWDL) reflecting a season of peaks and troughs.

What happened in the 2025/26 season?

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side ended the league campaign in 7th place with 59 points, 28 behind Serie A champions Inter. Up front, Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio scored 51 goals while conceding 36, closing with a +15 goal difference. A season in which the Neroazzurri alternated explosive attacking spells with defensive frailties, averaging 1.34 goals scored per game and 0.95 conceded.

Why the 7th-place finish matters for Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio

The seventh-place finish does not secure a European spot, yet it serves as a baseline for the next campaign. Gasperini has built a side capable of beating the big names — such as the 3-1 win over Milan in March — yet also prone to unexpected slips against mid-table opposition. The positive goal difference (+15) shows the attack, with 51 goals, performed better than the defence, which shipped 36 in 38 matches.

What’s next for La Dea?

The club hierarchy must decide whether to back promising youth or established names. With 14 draws in 38 games, Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio often squandered vital points, ending up outside the European race. Now attention turns to the transfer window: defensive reinforcements are needed to cut the goals conceded, alongside a midfielder capable of steadying the side. As of 14 July 2026, the official data shows a squad that must evolve to compete at the top level.
