Xabi Alonso let Leverkusen plays very attacking in this season but he is cleverly to command his players to calm down and reduce playing intensity at a right time within each match if necessary. I believe Xabi Alonso will not let his players go playing seriously attacking and lose control of their minds. It's risky as Atalanta shown in their first quarter final match with Liverpool, that how dangerous they are in counter attacking.
The final is always a special match, the mood for it must also be certain, it is important in what mood the team approaches this match. Bayer have been very good throughout the season, but they haven't played in any final yet, I don't know if that matters. Atalanta also had a good end to the season, but they were unable to beat a weakened Juventus in the Italian Cup final, maybe it's not significantly. Today we will find out who will become the champion.
I like many here think Bayer will be champions, but I really hope there will be surprises in this match... Although usually the final matches are not rich in goals, I want to see goals from both teams... By the way, bookmakers give good odds that both teams will score, but favour Bayer... But it's probably safe to take a chance and place a small bet on Atalanta taking the title... The odds are more than 2...
Leverkusen are currently leading unbeaten record in all competitions and today is final for Europa league against Atalanta, check Atalanta matches in this Europa they were unbeaten in the group stage and finally they got to this point base on their good performance, not narrow escapes which is why Leverkusen have a lot to protect, their unbeaten record and the trophy because both are so important for the them, Atalanta are also after two things which are winning the trophy and also put an end to their unbeaten record, the match is very important for both teams which i believes it going to be tough matches. Many have put hope for Leverkusen to win because of their consistency but let see if we are going to see a surprise tonight seeing Atalanta make a huge record by destroying Leverkusen.
