When it is Charles de Quetelare arrived in Milan in the summer of 2022, everyone couldn't wait to see the guy in action who cost the giants over 30 million euros and who was a Belgian child prodigy as a teenager.
He entered the season weakly, and already after a few months, the patience of the club and the coach betrayed him Stefan Pioli and fans, so De Ketelare left the City of Fashion and went to the neighborhood - in Atalanta near Gianpiero Gasperini to get back on track in his career.
And not only did he manage to find himself in Bergamo, but he is a very important factor in the historic season of the "goddess" who has a chance to win two trophies. The first rushes tomorrow at Rome's "Olympic" against Juventus in the Italian Cup, and on May 22 in the Europa League, where the still invincible Bayer awaits...
De Ketelare scored 13 goals and eight assists in all competitions this season, and on Sunday he was most responsible for the victory over Roma (2:1, scored twice) when Atalanta took a big step towards the Champions League. And almost certainly forced the club to buy him from the Rossoneri - 25 million euros would probably be enough for that.
We present the players who marked the European football weekend:
THE GOALKEEPER
Zomer (Inter) - the champion defeated Frosinone 5:0, but it was far from simple. The Swiss had several great saves at 0:0, 1:0 and 2:0...
DEFENSE
Guardiol (Manchester City) - five goals in just over a month - the Croatian showed at the end of the season how productive he can be in attack.
Buchanan (Inter) - he scored his debut goal in the black and blue jersey. The Canadian is expected to play more minutes and play better games next season.
Garcia (Real Madrid) - uses the chance he gets in the position of left back. He was the scorer in Granada in the goal of the new champion of Spain.
THE MIDDLE
Barreiro (Mainz) - Mainz outclassed Borussia Dortmund and took a serious step towards survival in the Bundesliga. The midfielder from Luxembourg opened the way to victory - 3:0.
Olys (Crystal Palace) - he outgrew a small environment like Crystal Palace. Aston Villa, Arsenal and Manchester United are waiting for the transfer window to attack - they will have to allocate at least 100 million euros for the 22-year-old Frenchman.
De Ketelare (Atalanta) - last year at this time he was dissatisfied, listening to the whistles of the Milan fans, and now he is impressing in the Atalanta jersey.
ATTACK
Girassi (Stuttgart) - it's only in the Bundesliga Harry Kane (36) scored more goals than the striker from Guinea who scored 26 times this season. He is definitely the most responsible for the placement of the "Croatians" in the Champions League.
Trosar (Arsenal) - if the "gunners" finish the championship race ahead of Manchester City - he will be a hero. How many important goals did he score in the second part of the season.
Serlot (Villarreal) - he is the second top scorer in La Liga with 19 goals, it's a pity that Villarreal did not crown his party with placement on the European stage.
Aubameyang (Marseille) - he did his job more than well in another disappointing season of the greats from "Velodrom".
