Monza was thrashed 4-0 at home by Atalanta, guaranteeing relegation from Serie A as the first team this year after surviving in the top flight for 2 seasons.
Atalanta took 23 minutes to pull ahead with a double from Charles de Catalare. And in the second half Ademola Lookman and Marco Brescianini added more.

Monza, the club of the Berlusconi family, has been promoted to the top league since 2022. And survived for 2 seasons under coach Raffaele Palladino.
The match unfolded against a sombre backdrop, following the fatal stabbing of a 26-year-old Atalanta fan in Bergamo.
In a poignant tribute, the visiting supporters unveiled a banner behind the goal, honouring the fan.
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini was not impressed with his side’s start despite two early goals.
“After the first half I wasn’t very happy, despite the two goals scored. There was a drop in concentration and we can’t afford that,” he told a press conference.
“The goal of reaching the Champions League next season is very close, I expect the best from everyone in the last three rounds.”
However, this season, Palladino left the team to manage Fiorentina since the summer and Nesta, who came in instead, could not continue. In
December last year, Monza tried to fix it by appointing Salvatore Bocchetti to manage instead, but the situation did not improve. Until almost February, they returned to use Nesta’s services, but could not avoid the fate.
