De Ketelaere breaks Belgian UCL record in Atalanta's big win 🇧🇪
Atalanta have earned first win since before Christmas, and, unsurprisingly, Charles De Ketelaere has been at the heart of it, with another Champions League goal and assist in the 5-0 hammering of Sturm Graz.
In doing so, he went past a legendary countryman in the history books.
His two goal contributions made it nine in just seven games, beating international teammate Kevin De Bruyne's 2022/23 tally for the most from a Belgian in a single season of club football's most illustrious competition.
Is CDK set to be the new KDB?

Gian Piero Gasperini's side's win puts them within touching distance of an automatic spot in the round of 16 with one game left in the league phase.
After winning the Europa League last year, could De Ketelaere inspire them to go even one better in 2025?
