GAME LOG

Seven crosses Saturday Ruggeri registered one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Celta Vigo.
Impact Ruggeri recorded seven crosses in Saturday's loss, tied for his second most in a match this season. He also created a team-high three chances, providing nice service to his teammates throughout the match. The left back has three assists in La Liga this season -- all of which have come in his last six appearances -- and he'll look to add to that tally Tuesday at Osasuna.

Trains Friday, could return Ruggeri (undisclosed) was spotted training Friday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club, according to Ainhoa Sanchez of Radio Marca.
Impact Ruggeri had been unable to train on the pitch earlier in the week and missed Wednesday's fixture against Elche as a result, making his return to the training ground a positive development heading into the weekend. The left-back should push to regain his starting role if he comes through Friday's session without any issues, with Julio Diaz having stepped in to cover against the Franjiverdes. Atletico will make a final call on his involvement ahead of Saturday's kickoff.

Clears doubt, available Wednesday Ruggeri (undisclosed) was not mentioned in the injury report during the press conference and is therefore available for Wednesday's clash against Elche, according to coach Diego Si...
Impact Ruggeri had been a doubt after being spotted working in the gym Tuesday, but his absence from the injury report is a clean bill of health heading into the midweek fixture. The left-back should slot back into his starting role in the upcoming fixtures, although Julio Diaz can also see some increased playing time if coach Diego Simeone wants to rest his left-back.
APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE
Working in gym, doubtful Wednesday Ruggeri (undisclosed) was working in the gym Tuesday and is a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Elche, according to Pascual Ruiz Arnal of Marca.
Impact Ruggeri's absence from the training pitch heading into the midweek fixture is a concern for Atletico with no details provided on the nature of the issue. If he cannot be cleared in time, Julio Diaz could be handed only his second La Liga start of his career against the Franjiverdes, with coach Diego Simeone needing to find a solution at left-back for a fixture that remains important in the final stretch of the La Liga season although the focus is clearly on the Champions League semifinals against Arsenal starting next week.
APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE
Assist from defense Ruggeri assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Barcelona.
Impact Ruggeri was active on Wednesday, and that led to an assist for the defender, finding Alexander Sorloth in the 70th minute for the second goal of the match. This is Ruggeri's third assist in UCL play this season, equaling his amount in league play despite nine fewer appearances. He also did well to keep Barca from scoring, recording two interceptions and four tackles on his way to a clean sheet.

Impact Ruggeri delivered a perfect cross that was nodded home by Nicolas Gonzalez, and the forward, who had come off the bench, gave Atletico the victory at the 81st minute. Ruggeri isn't much of an attacking threat despite his full-back role, though he can create havoc when he pushes forward with confidence. This was his third assist in 19 appearances (15 starts) in league play.
MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE
Assists in Tuesday's victory Ruggeri assisted once to go with five crosses (three accurate) and five chances created in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Club Brugge.
Impact Ruggeri, who recorded two assists on the weekend, followed that performance up with another assist in the Champions League on Tuesday. He assisted Alexander Sorloth's third goal in the 87th minute which put the icing on the cake of a dominant second-leg win. He recorded season highs with five chances created and three accurate crosses in the victory, capping off an excellent performance on both ends of the pitch.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Dazzles with two assists in win Ruggeri grabbed two assists, one tackle won and one interception in Saturday's 4-2 in versus Espanyol.
Impact Ruggeri doubled his goal contributions on Saturday with two assists, one coming on the game winner. After struggling for much of the first half, this is a welcome sight for Ruggeri who will look to build off this performance on Tuesday versus Brugge.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Assists for Atleti Ruggeri assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Galatasaray.
Impact Ruggeri played a role during the draw to Galatassaray on Wednesday, assiting in a rare occurance to take the point. His last European tournament assist came back in 2023/24 during his time with Atalanta, assisting once in the Europa League. In the UCL, the defender has started five of the six games played, collecting 17 crosses, 15 tackles and 12 clearances.
JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Busy defensively Ruggeri made five clearances and one interception during Tuesday's 3-2 win over PSV.
Impact Ruggeri has been a consistent option at left-back both in the starting XI and on the bench, and put together another nice showing Tuesday. The defender has played a large role with Atleti, including starts in the last three Champions League matches. Ruggeri should continue in a large role moving forward rotating in and out of the starting XI.

Atletico Madrid signs young Italian left back Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta

Atletico Madrid has signed 22-year-old Italian left back Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta on a five-year contract
JULY 1, 2025 • Associated Press
Heads to Atletico Madrid Ruggeri has inked a five-year contract with Atletico Madrid after coming in from Atalanta.
Impact Ruggeri departs Atalanta after three solid seasons, although he wasn't always a starter in 2024/2025, tallying three assists, 100 crosses (33 accurate) and 43 tackles in 36 appearances (22 starts), contributing to four clean sheets. He was signed shortly after the departure of Reinildo Mandava in the same role.

Dishes out assist in Genoa tilt Ruggeri assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate), one tackle (one won) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win against Genoa.
Impact Ruggeri returned to the XI after over three months and slipped the ball to Ibrahima Sulemana ahead of the first goal for his side, but the teammate did most of the heavy lifting on the goal. He has struggled to compete with Davide Zappacosta and Raoul Bellanova once Atalanta had a less busy schedule. He has recorded four chances created, seven crosses (three accurate), five tackles (three won) and seven clearances in his last five outings. This was his third helper in the season.
MAY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Provides spark against Inter Ruggeri won two of two tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in 31 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan.
Impact Ruggeri began on the bench for the fourth straight game but subbed in earlier than in his last two performances and was dynamic on the wing. Davide Zappacosta, Raoul Bellanova and Juan Cuadrado (thigh) have gotten more run than him in the last few weeks. He'll look to build on this performance to gain more playing time. He has notched five key passes, 10 crosses (four accurate), six tackles (four won) and eight clerances in his last five showings (two starts).
MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dynamic against Cagliari Ruggeri (illness) had six crosses (two accurate), three tackles (two won), two clearances and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Cagliari.
Impact Ruggeri wasn't affected by a recent illness as he played the whole game and was one of the Atalanta players with the most juice in a subpar collective showing, pacing his side in a pair of offensive stats. He'll rotate with Davide Zappacosta going forward. He has logged four key passes, 13 crosses (five accurate), six tackles (three won) and seven clearances in his last five displays.
