Atalanta is one of two teams in the history of major UEFA European competitions to have played more than one away match against English clubs and won more than half of those matches (67% – 2/3) – the other is Berliner FC Dynamo, who also won two of the three games played (1 defeat): against Nottingham Forest, holder of the European Cup, in 1979-80, and Aston Villa, in the Champions Cup of 1981-82, which would have been then awarded the trophy that season.
