In the heart of Romeo and Juliet’s city, the top striker in Serie A delivered a performance of a lifetime.

Matteo Retegi, an Italian who was born in Argentina, excelled in the game between Atalanta and Verona, proving once again why he is the leading goal scorer in Italy.

The “Goddess” triumphed with a 5:0 victory at “Bentegodi”, with the former Genoa forward netting four goals – he completed a hat-trick by halftime and added a fourth in the 56th minute to finalize the score.

Atalanta was relentless, with Retegi striking first in the 21st minute.

He found the net again just three minutes later, and in the 44th minute, he scored following Ederson’s goal that made it 3:0.

By the end of the first half, the match was practically decided, but Retegi continued his scoring spree in the second half.

With this performance, Mateo solidified his lead in the scoring charts, now at 20 goals, five ahead of Fiorentina’s Moses Ken.

Atalanta collected their 50th point of the season in Verona, sitting in third place with one match less, trailing Inter and league leaders Napoli by one and four points respectively.

Meanwhile, AC Milan similarly triumphed over Empoli in Tuscany with a score of 2:0, despite rarely threatening in the first hour of the match.

The Rossoneri played with ten men for a brief period due to Fikayo Tomori’s red card, although Empoli’s Luka Marijanučić also received a dismissal shortly after.

Rafael Leao opened the scoring after a cross from Christian Pulisic, while Santiago Jimenez, a newcomer from Feyenoord, sealed the victory.
