That is true and we admit it because Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen are two teams that have succeeded in carving out different histories. Of course, we know that Leverkusen won the Bundesliga without defeat and Atalanta won the Europa League after waiting a long time.

If we discuss it again, there are many interesting facts about these two teams.
Imagine that Atalata and Leverkusen were not teams that were considered perfect before their respective successes.
Starting from players to coaches, both of them are not well-known coaches like top coaches who handle big European teams. Players, on average, players with mediocre abilities, even if you add up all their market prices, a squad is not as big as the market price for a top player.

This season is full of surprises and shocks because what so many of us expected to be the outcome of some matches was wrong. I think that Leverkusen unbeaten record will only remain in Bundesliga and no longer in all competitions, because their last match brought a great defeat for them. I could not just imagine how such a club that have never been defeated conceded 3 goals to nothing during their defeat.

Leverkusen have tried their best and it just happened that they could not win the finals to make a better record and history but they are still the best in Germany this season and they remain the defending champion. I hope to see Atalanta superb performance next season in the champions league. What a recommendable season for Atalanta and for Italy.

20 minutes before the match started I was very positive in favor of Bayer Leverkusen and wanted to bet, but that didn't happen because the internet network wouldn't allow me to access the casino. As a result I just watched and was disappointed because Levekusen was beyond our expectations, but fortunately my bet was not in vain. I just want to say to the Atalanta players, especially Lookman, "man, it's too much to wipe out 3 goals alone and it leaves Xabi ALonso and his players speechless". After the match, the faces were disappointed, devastated and frustrated due to not getting the chance to score a goal. This was the first time they felt the bitterness of defeat. This really hit Xabi Alonso troops, because Leverkusen implemented a 1 on 1 game system where every Leverkusen player was pressured so that they could not activate their strategy.

Piero Gasperini ingenuity was able to close down the opponent's movements with the same formation. Of course 1 on 1s happen and just follow the ball wherever it goes. This is also where Piero Gasperini, the oldest player who has held Atalanta since 2016, was able to present the Europa League trophy. As I said, Atalanta 1 on 1 formation is the benchmark for defeating Xabi Alonso tactics.

Well, even though Bayer Leverkusen finally suffered their first defeat this season, but it is still true that Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta managed to make great history this season. I think that the defeat suffered by Bayer Leverkusen in this final match will at least not make their undefeated achievement disappear. Because of course, with Bayer Leverkusen's success without losing throughout the season in all competitions and only losing in the Europa League final, at least Bayer Leverkusen managed to has impressive results this season. So yes, the final match between Atalanta v Bayer Leverkusen really became a new history in football this season, because they managed to do the best for the team's history and that was great.

That's quite a long time to wait. Atalanta had to wait 61 years for a Europa League trophy and for Gasperini it was the first trophy in his professional coaching career.
Behind the success of Atalanta and Gasperini there are records that must be broken, of course Bayer Leverkusen and Alonso's records for all the competitions they have played in this season.

The Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen final is a match that protects each other and hopes for history. But Atalanta have been absolutely sensational in the Europa League. They were able to break the predictions of many analysts by eliminating two teams that were predicted to meet in the final. The two teams are Liverpool and Leverkusen. Against Liverpool they managed to win 3-0 at Anfield and they also scored 3-0 yesterday in the Final match.

Yes, I think so too, people will bet on Leverkusen's victory in this match, because from the start they were favorites with their impressive record throughout this season, but we didn't see that in this match, where Leverkusen was the one who had to accept defeat. 3 goals scored without reply. The strategy implemented by Atalanta was really effective, they knew Leverkusen's weaknesses and strengths so they could win the title.

Congratulations to Atalanta for winning the Europa League this season, it's not easy to do that, because we know from the start that they were not more favorites than Leverkusen, but they were able to prove that superiority on paper doesn't necessarily mean they have to lose. they managed to beat Leverkusen and that for the first time this season. Apart from them succeeding in becoming champions, they also succeeded in becoming the club that could beat Leverkusen this season.

The final match is a Lookman show with his hat-trick but Atalanta won as a team because together they did not let Leverkusen players have space to play their usual dominating football.

Lookman has interesting stats in this season, you can see there.

Through this season so far Lookman scored 15 goals with 5 goals in Europa League and 3 goals come from the final match. It seems he is not too goal productive but destiny chose him for this final match.

After 61 years, Atalanta won a first title in Europe and Gasperini won a first title in his coach career too. Together they have written a very successful season for Atalanta. After about 8 years in Bergamo with Atalanta, Gasperini deserves to lift a trophy before his departure.

This is a big surprise that happened and indeed in the Europa League we often see surprises and this season Atalanta did that, no one thought that Atalanta could win, but instead they won with a divorce score.

Leverkusen suffered a very painful first defeat this season and it happened in the Europa League final but I think there is nothing wrong here, indeed Atalanta can reduce Leverkusen's game and it must also be admitted that Atalanta played quite well in the final match so they were able to maintain the team's game well. pretty good.

Congratulations to Atalanta, they managed to dispel many people's doubts and prove their quality this season, they were extraordinary, they were able to beat the two candidates to win the Europa League, namely Liverpool and Leverkusen.

Ademola Lookman was man of the match in the final match between Leverkusen and Atalanta with his hatrick, surely he will be highly coveted by many big clubs because he was like a hero in the final match, I also did not expect that Leverkusen could lose 3-0, which to be honest before the match started I thought that Leverkusen would lift the Europa League villa this season, but it seems that many people were wrong too.

I would strongly believe Lookman will be a contender in the transfer market, given that his kicks have the accuracy and power to always break into the opponent's goal, the 26-year-old Nigerian player I think will get a better future from now on.

I understand the pain of losing a bet, especially when Leverkusen is undefeated.  Football is unpredictable, which is its beauty. Atalanta played and showed us their potential. Their defense was solid, and Musso, their goalkeeper, was great. What about Lookman's hat-trick? Unstoppable. Star of the show. Remember, Atalanta is powerful. Maybe we should have expected this after they beat Liverpool, Sporting, and Marseille this season.  Leverkusen didnt play horribly, but a defense like that with a hot scorer like Lookman make it hard to win. Unexpected results make football fascinating, even if we lose a wager.

It looks like many eyes will be glancing at Ademola Lookman because soon the transfer window will be busy again. He truly put on a one-man show, not only because he brought Atalanta to victory with the hat trick he scored but he really performed very impressively, as if he knew that the final would be a stage for him to shine. I guess there will be several big teams coming for him soon, and of course that will increase his market price.

In the end, Atalanta was able to get their first European trophy and I think the path they went through to get it all was not easy. In the quarter-finals, they were unexpectedly able to beat strong candidate Liverpool. In the final, they really weren't the favorites because Bayer Leverkusen looked more flashy with all their achievements and unbeaten record. Still, Atalanta ended all the stories with a landslide victory.

Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten record this season had to be stopped in the Europa League final against Atalanta. It was surprising that Leverkusen surrendered 0-3. Whereas previously they were able to go through 51 matches in all competitions this season without losing at all. They also successfully completed 34 matches in the Bundesliga this season without losing. So Bayer Leverkusen succeeded in becoming Bundesliga champions.

 However, everything changed in their 52nd match. Xabi Alonso's troops were helpless against the style of football displayed by Gian Piero Gasperini's troops. This tragic defeat forced Bayer Leverkusen to bury their dream of sweeping three trophies without tasting a single defeat.

I think that we all underestimated Atalanta even after they win Liverpool 3-0. It was the same 3-0 that they dished out to Leverkusen in the finals. If I am not mistaken, it has been a while since I saw such number of goals in a final match. Leverkusen was heart broken as they were unable to pass through Atalanta defense, it is a pity that Atalanta was able to defeat them on their 52nd match of the season after winning Bundesliga unbeaten.

During the knockout stages people were anticipating that the Europa league final will be played between Liverpool and Leverkusen because of their current form which i myself was convinced but unfortunately Atalanta try to make big record in this season Europa League, many doubted the them to defeat Liverpool and to the greatest surprise they eliminated them which i found it easy for them, many people lost their bet, and again for yesterday game they also shocked everyone by win Leverkusen who have 51 unbeaten record in all competitions and took the title, i was still not surprised seeing the game in that manner, their late goals have me made up my mind that their end is near and it was very disgraceful for conceding three goals. But still i applaud them because anything that have the beginning must surely have an end.

Although I did not bet on this match. However, I think most gamblers bet on Leverkusen's win in this match. Because this season, Leverkusen is the only team that has not lost a single match.   Won the Bundesliga title.   Qualified to the finals of the Europa League and DFB Pokal. The team was also in very good form. So naturally we consider Leverkusen as the favorite in this match.   But we have not seen a better performance than Leverkusen in this match.

Leverkusen would lose by a huge margin of 3-0 which probably nobody would have imagined.   The players of Leverkusen could not score a single goal. However, there is no doubt that Atalanta's players performed well in this match. Each of Atalanta's attacks was well planned.

I'm not surprised at all being that there has to be a time to break records and for Leverkusen it was last night. Many fans of Leverkusen will be disappointed that they couldn't lift the trophy and that Xabi Alonso didn't choose a better time to lose a game than the finals but personally I won't blame the Spaniard being that before him, Leverkusen haven't achieved much. At least they will set their minds now on the DFB POKAL finals and if they manage to win that one, it will be two out of three cups Xabi was able to give them.

The match felt very surprising for ordinary viewers, and the match felt very painful for everyone who bet on Leverkusen in that match. Right now everyone seems to be really shocked by the results of the match. Maybe what shocked everyone was because Leverkusen was unable to score even one goal in that match. Atalanta seemed to be playing against a mediocre team in this match. Leverkusen didn't seem that strong in this match. And that is in contrast to Leverkusen's usual performance. Xabi Alonso seems to have made the wrong strategy in this match. But this is not the first time a team from Italy has made a surprise. So if we are used to teams from Italy then we certainly won't be so surprised by this.
A. Lookman really went crazy in that match. He really enjoyed the match the most. He managed to score a hat trick. And that is an achievement that deserves much praise. In fact, in my country now the name A. Lookman continues to be mentioned as the player who brought glory to Atalanta.

Very sad to hear that you lost the bet due to being too optimistic about Leverkusen. I know you are very upset about Leverkusen's failure to win the Europa League trophy due to the surprise presented by Atalanta which made Leverkusen unable to score a single goal in this match. Atalanta really proved their prowess, they managed to make Leverkusen, who had performed extraordinary so far, not move in front of them.

I'm sure you are not the only one who placed a bet on Leverkusen, there are many other people who have the same fate as you due to giving more value to Leverkusen based on their impressive performance so far. Football always presents results that are never expected, Atalanta has taught us not to underestimate the underdog team because they can do anything that was never expected before.

I think the defeat of Leverkusen is something that is natural because it is not easy to maintain their consistency as an unbeaten team this season, in the end they are defeated by Atalanta and this is a match that may be remembered by Leverkusen supporters that Atalanta finally managed to break Leverkusen's record as an unbeaten team this season, Xabi Alonso certainly has given the best and the appearance of the players is also as much as possible it's just that Atalanta is far more prepared than them. So naturally Atalanta won against Leverkusen and won the UEL title this season.

Leverkusen must be satisfied with this result whatever the defeat they experience should be able to be a motivation to be even better in the next season, especially Leverkusen will play at UCL next season, surely they also need new players to be in the back and also on the front lines so they can Being a stronger team, I know that many gamblers are losing to bets because they are too confident with Leverkusen, even so Atalanta also needs to be aware because they can give a surprise too, after all this final match has no team that can be underestimated.

The results of this match were beyond our predictions, bro. Because I'm sure most of the people who watched and bet on this match definitely believe Leverkusen will definitely win. The reason is that this season Leverkusen played very well with an undefeated record, and became champions in the Bundesliga, making everyone confident that the final match of the Europa League this time will definitely be won easily by Leverkusen. Because if you look at Atalanta, so far its performance can be said to be quite good, but it has not yet reached an extraordinary level. The reason is that in Serie A alone, Atalanta is only able to rank 5th in the current standings. So it is very natural that many people speculate that Leverkusen will definitely be able to beat Atalanta easily.

But in reality, it was Atalanta who came out as champions. Apart from that, what was surprising was that Leverkusen lost by quite a landslide. Actually, if you look at the match, Leverkusen controlled a lot of the ball and attacked more than Atalanta. But unfortunately not a single opportunity turned into a goal. Meanwhile, Atalanta in this match was really able to survive all of Leverkusen's attacks and when there was an opportunity, the Atalanta players were able to attack back at Leverkusen's defense in a very well-organized manner. So basically in this match the Leverkusen players lost their strategy to Atalanta, because it was proven that the players were unable to penetrate Atalanta's defense.

Apart from that, I was very impressed with Lookman's performance, because he was the only Atalanta player who scored 3 goals (Hatrick) against Leverkusen very beautifully and confidently. Maybe if it weren't for Lookman's calmness, confidence and skill, perhaps Atalanta would not have won by a margin of 3 goals in this final match. And in essence I congratulate Atalanta on this victory.
