Key Players to Watch: Atalanta vs Club Brugge

Nikola Krstović (Atalanta): The Montenegrin forward has started the 2025/2026 season in electric fashion for Atalanta. Having recently secured a move to the club, Krstović has quickly established himself as a key creative and offensive threat. Across six appearances in all competitions this season, the striker has netted 3 goals and, notably, provided 3 assists, demonstrating a significant impact on Atalanta's attack despite limited total minutes.

Hans Vanaken (Club Brugge): Club Brugge's veteran captain continues to be the creative heartbeat of the Belgian side. In the opening match of the UCL group stage, the attacking midfielder delivered a Man of the Match performance, securing both a goal and an assist in a pivotal victory. His domestic league form remains highly influential, where he has contributed 2 goals and leads his team in expected assists (xAG), underscoring his role as a chance-creation machine with an exceptional passing accuracy. At 33, Vanaken's ability to consistently dominate the midfield at the highest level shows no signs of waning.

Charles De Ketelaere (Atalanta): Charles De Ketelaere has built on the success of his permanent move to Atalanta by continuing to be a central figure in their 2025/2026 campaign. The Belgian playmaker has already contributed 2 goals in the early Serie A matches, playing primarily in an attacking midfield role.
