Atalanta 0-0 Celtic: Key stats

Celtic have kept a Champions League clean sheet for the first time since a 3-0 win over Anderlecht in September 2017, ending a run of 18 games without one in which they shipped 51 goals.

Although they failed to score in the first half, Atalanta accumulated an xG (expected goals) total of 1.71, the fourth highest by a team in the first half of a Champions League game this season. Indeed, two of those four highest first-half xG totals have been against Celtic, with Borussia Dortmund posting 2.1 xG in their match on 1 October.

Celtic attempted four shots in this game, their fewest in a match in this Champions League season.

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has made six saves in each of his last two Champions League appearances. Here he became the first Celtic goalkeeper to make as many as six saves and keep a clean sheet in a Champions League game on record (since 2003-04).

The goalless draw ended a run of 85 consecutive games in major European matches without a 0-0 for Celtic, with their last such result coming against Benfica back in September 2012 in a Champions League match.

Atalanta are just the second team on record in the Champions League (from 2008-09 onwards) to have 20+ shots (22) and 50+ touches in the opposition box (54) and not score a goal, along with Paris St-Germain against Borussia Dortmund in last season’s semi-final second leg (30 shots, 50 touches in the opposition box).
