The first half of this game was a disaster for both bettors and leverkusen themselves but leverkusen proved to be more superior than Roma, that match has noted a bad record for Roma, defeating a team by 2:0 in such an important match and later allowing them to penetrate to equalize the match, this where I blame the manager not only the players, when they were 2:0 ahead the manager would have used a 4 men defense, 4 midfield and 2 attackers at least this would have helped them to maintain the lead and also look for more goals, we never can tell what would have happened if the match ended in a penalty shootout, the own goal was uncalled for but then that where I believe that god of soccer exist, football should be played with determination and a lot of seriousness, although Leverkusen deserved the winning but Roma allowed it to be that way.

Maybe in the final match we will also be more curious about whether Atalanta will be able to stop Leverkusen's unbeaten record this season or not. But if Atalanta succeeds then it will be a big surprise and people will start to stop underestimating Italian teams like Atalanta. Because actually Roma also almost beat Leverkusen in the second leg yesterday. But unfortunately Roma couldn't defend it until the end. And Atalanta could actually be a tougher opponent than Roma. because Atalanta has a stronger enemy in the quarter-finals, namely Liverpool. but Atalanta managed to win at that time. So I am sure that the Final match will be a more exciting match. But I'm not sure which team to bet on in that match.

Yes, it could be said like that, who would have thought that Dortmund and Atalanta were two clubs that were not really favorites since the start of the season, but they were able to reach the Champions League final and also the Europa League final, we cannot predict football results in advance, we also should not underestimate underdog clubs. because they have the special ability to reach the current level, even though they were able to reach the final, people still don't really favor Dortmund and Atalanta to win this prestigious title, most people prefer Real Madrid and Leverkusen to win this title.

Because judging from the performance of these clubs, these clubs are the most convincing, but let's see if Dortmund and Atalanta can give a surprising performance by beating their opponents. They have a performance that is difficult to predict at the moment. Even when Atalanta beat Liverpool, it also caused quite an astonishing surprise because who would have thought that Atalanta able to beat the Premier League giants. I see that Real Madrid and Leverkusen are the favorite clubs to win the title but we also don't know what will happen if Leverkusen makes its first mistake in the final.

This season's UEL final is similar to the UCL final. I think this is something unique. In the UCL final, Real Madrid will face Dortmund, an underdog team that is beyond most people's predictions. Many say this will be the final between Real Madrid and PSG. And many say Real Madrid has won the UCL. In UEL Atalanta will play Leverkusen. And many say Leverkusen has a big chance of becoming champions. Dortmund and Atalanta are underdogs, Real Madrid and Leverkusen are favorites with big chances. I also believe Real Madrid and Leverkusen will be champions this season.

If you look at the current Serie A standings, it looks like Roma and Atalanta are on an equal level, so the match against Roma in the semifinals can be used as a lesson for Bayer Leverkusen, so that they have thorough preparation to face Atalanta in the Final. In terms of performance, I still feel that Bayer Leverkusen is above Atalanta, and the same goes for the mentality of both teams. Bayer Leverkusen just need to keep up their performance and that way they will be able to lift their second trophy.

It true, if there wasn't goal scored by Josip Stanisic in the final minutes then it would have been defeat for Leverkusen, it just that even though they lost 1 - 2 to Roma, Leverkusen still advanced to the final because they still had the aggregate advantage.
Now there is only the deciding match left for the winner of this season Europa League title and whatever happens, even though Atalanta can provide surprise and fight well, Leverkusen is still the favorite.
It seems that Leverkusen are destined to win trebble winners in one season under Xabi guidance and of course this makes them team with winning mentality.
Next season we will see more interesting things where Xabi has to prepare Leverkusen to participate in the UCL, and of course Xabi greatness will not only be carved for this season with Leverkusen.

The come back of Leverkusen is very impressive because it is a knock out match and they have to face with a very strong opponent. Moreover, the opponent is from Italy where defense is like their traditional art. Leverkusen are strong but they also have support of luck because without the own goal of Mancini, I doubt that Leverkusen can come back.

I believe without that own goal, Roma can block Leverkusen attacks like they did last season but what happened is a big gift for Leverkusen. This own goal of Mancini opens the match for Leverkusen because after that, Roma have nothing to lose more. If the result remains, they will fail in aggregated result and they have to attack to find a third goal. With big space from Roma, Leverkusen have many opportunities to equalize the match and they wasted some chances before scoring a very late goal to make their come back more dramatic.

Leverkusen have the ability to keep winning considering their remaining opponents have nothing to fight for anymore. They will even be easier to beat compared to teams that are fighting relegation. However, Fulfilling this ambition will take toll on their mentality and fitness, because they will still need a full focus on every game they play while they also have two finals to play.

Atalanta is a strong team under Gasperini. Leverkusen will also need a full focus on their preparation to play the Europa League final. This situation need a strong mentality from the coach and manager to achieve their biggest success in history of the club. anything can still happen, but they need to reduce the distractions.

AS Roma took the lead in the match but they were so comfortable after scoring the two goals which they were to be so protective of their defence to secure those goals more but they wastefully misuse that opportunity and Bayern Leverkusen easily came back into the game to level the game once more. They continued their dominance in all competitions and also continue the streak of their unbeaten run. Can any team even stop them now from winning this trophy, I don’t think so as they’ve proven that they’re the best for the this season.


Before the competition will get to this stage, I have already envisioned that the side where Bayern Leverkusen will be playing from is what will give a more competitive time for them to advance to the finals ever since Liverpool was eliminated from the competition. Which ever team makes it to the finals of the competition will not give Bayern Leverkusen a hard time winning the trophy. The efforts of Atalanta is such that they don’t give up no matter the team they face, and that enthusiasm in them gave them the victory against Liverpool. We shall wait to see how the match will be played but Bayern Leverkusen still remain the best team for the trophy.

In as much as I'm one of the people who thinks that Bayer Leverkusen are going to win the UEFA Europa League competition this season because of their better form and performances when compared to their opponents Atalanta in the final of the competition we can't just undermine the strength of the Italian Serie A team who will be giving their all as well to lift the trophy at the of the final whistle. One thing I have noticed about Bayer Leverkusen manager this season is that he's not allowed his good and impressive results get the better of him in terms of decision making and directing his players on what's best for them as a team. Xabi Alonso will tell his boys to go into the pitch with the mindset that they're very beatable and must put out their best if they must avoid a defeat in the final of the competition.
Saying that you're 100% going to trust Bayer Leverkusen is an insult to Atalanta as a team and in football, you can never say never. Bayer Leverkusen is most people's favorites without doubt but Atalanta still have the capability of pulling a surprise

I think Leverkusen will be able to maintain this record until the end of the season, and complete the remaining 4 matches, in 3 different competitions as expected. Bochum and Augsburg are Leverkusen next opponents, and it seems unlikely that these two teams will be able to make Leverkusen taste defeat for the first time. Furthermore, Atalanta will be the opponent in the final match in the Europa League, and it also seems that they will have difficulty beating Leverkusen. Likewise, in the other final match, namely the DFB Pokal against Kaiserslautern, in my opinion it was even easier for Leverkusen for overcome it. So Leverkusen could have the opportunity to record a record of 53 matches without being defeated. It is a record that will be very difficult to surpass in the future, and now the Europa League final will be Xabi Alonso priority. Many believe that Leverkusen will be able to achieve a treble winner this season, which I think they really deserve.

Same with me, I didn't think at all that Atalanta would be the one to reach one of the Europa League finalists this season. Even if we look at the polls in this thread, the current finalists, Leverkusen and Atalanta are not on the poll lists. Yes, because it was at the start of the season, no one would have thought that these two clubs would make it to the final. In fact, he was very sure that the winner would be Liverpool. However, Atalanta really beat this estimate, as did Leverkusen, which is even more impressive, the club's performance from the start until now is still unbeaten.

Now, let's see how the two clubs will be competing in the final of Europe League. Although this time the most favorite club is Leverkusen because considering their solid and consistent performance, it doesn't close the chance also for Atalanta. So, this will be very interesting to wait for this.

Atalanta may have more victories against Leverkusen. but this time is different. We are seeing how current performance of both clubs. Leverkusen may be more consistent, and with Xabi, the smart coach so far, and its full players that are fit enough. Well, Atalanta must do more efforts to continue the race of winning from Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen reached the 2024 UEFA Europa League final over a 2-2 home draw (4-2 aggregate win) with Roma as Bayer Leverkusen, who maintained their unbeaten run, will next face another Italian club, Atalanta, in Dublin. Following a 2-2 draw at home, Leverkusen, this season's German champions, have the longest unbeaten streak in European football history. They are now unbeaten in 49 games in all competitions to set a new record.

Their H2H meeting between Atalanta and Leverkusen did not happen much. It was recorded that they had only competed a few times in matches. And from that match, Atalanta actually had better statistics because they got a bigger win than Leverksuen. But that was before, before Leverkusen were at this level.

Meanwhile, for now, we really understand what Leverkusen's consistency and performance has been like so far. In fact, we really care about this club because that's how great its struggle is. So, this time, it could be that Leverkusen is able to reverse the previous conditions and in the end it is Leverkusen who I am sure will excel and win later. Even though this will certainly be very difficult for both of them, hopefully, Leverkusen will do it carefully but full of enthusiasm for victory.

The game of football is blessed with possibility and that's why it's so interesting too because many people are already on the strong impression that Bayern Leverkusen have already won but once again Atlanta didn't just fly to the finals, I mean they also eliminated one of the favorite of the competition so I know definitely that they are going to be a big threat to Leverkusen and will also give Bayern Leverkusen a run for their money

Thanks
I only placed the bet halfway through the game when I found this good opportunity at 3.25 odds. I hadn't placed any bets before the game starts

I don't think anyone else believed Leverkusen's draw after 2x0, it was quite incredible really, I'm still wondering how Real and Leverkusen managed to qualify is that way

---

I've already found the odds for the final, it's 1.86 for Leverkusen, I'm analyzing it here
Can Atalanta pull off a miracle?

Atlanta would have been acting able to probably have it easier with other teams if they were meeting them in the finals even if it has happened to be Roma I would have aswell bought into this idea because I know that they will definitely not let other team which weren't considered really tough enough, if they were able to get pass Liverpool I doubt of others who aren't as good as Liverpool will be able to be much of a problem to them.

Leverkusen is definitely not their equal but then they have been opportuned to getting to play a finals with them this season so they are going to make sure to the fact that hey are able to try their best not to make it so easy for Leverkusen and making it a wasted opportunity because if Leverkusen gets to play the game easily against them then it will appear like the opportunity wasn't utilized well enough to be able to get something off it hopefully that's if certain circumstances gets to be the case of Leverkusen in the game because sometimes unforeseen circumstances could come up and turns to be an advantage to the opponent.

Asides from the fact thst in football anything can happen at any time both expected and unexpected, I would have said I'm going to express a 100% certainty in the fact that Leverkusen is going to win their finals easily without hitches because they are definitely not coming this far to just end the game like that loosing to Atlanta who's considered an average team in the Europa who eventually got lucky.

But in this case it is undeniable that the way they do the offensive scheme is much better than they do the defensive scheme and delay the match to make it go according to their will.

Currently Leverkusen's strength is in terms of attack and the cohesiveness they have, it's just that the difference when they try the defensive scheme is a little juxtaposed with what they show when they are doing an attack scheme in a match.
This is still a flaw that must be perfected but despite the weaknesses, their consistency is really very good and the fact that they still continue to maintain an unbeaten record to date is proof that Leverkusen is the most consistent club and it can even be said that they are currently the most consistent club in major European competitions today.

Leverkusen has secured a record of 49 unbeaten matches throughout this season, of course this record was achieved after they forced Roma to a 2-2 draw in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final. Leverkusen has truly been beyond expectations with all their greatness this season, they are lucky, they are also good at playing, they can also be relied on in every match.

It is very difficult to describe how successful Leverkusen have been in their journey this season, they have been extraordinary and will be remembered as history for all time. Leverkusen has 4 matches remaining in this season including two final matches between the DFB Cup and the Europa League. They also have 2 matches in the Bundesliga, so Leverkusen still have a chance to increase their unbeaten record to 53 matches if they win them all.

If it were any other team aside from Bayern Leverkusen that Atlanta was set to take on then I would have said that theor.be slight chance for them to survive, and am saying this because of the unbelievable things I have seen this Bayern Leverkusen team do, I mean it's just fucking amazing how Leverkusen were able to pull this type of brilliance off in a football season.
