Wow what a surprise win by Atalanta. They proved many people wrong including me. I also thought Bayer Leverkusen great team and long winning streak would be too much for Atalanta. But your friend was right Atalanta good game against Liverpool showed they could do it. And they won big leading 2-0 at halftime and taking home their first European title. Congratulations to Atalanta on this amazing achievement. It is reminder that football is full of surprises and we should not underestimate any team.
Atalanta's proof when they beat Liverpool is actually quite clear evidence that Atalanta is a team that should not be underestimated and this has also been proven by Atalanta when they were able to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final. I was also surprised by the result because before the match started I thought that Bayer Leverkusen would definitely be able to score a goal, but in reality Bayer Leverkusen had to lose without a single goal in return. This really surprised many people, including myself.
Oh no. Atalanta ended Leverkusen's record. Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso can confirm his status as a rising coaching star in this year's Europa League final. But he had to face a cunning "old fox" like Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. With just a minute left in the match, coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the Atalanta substitutes danced and sang on the sidelines. Leverkusen have overturned the situation nearly a dozen times in extra minutes this season, but the three-goal gap at that time was too far. Sadly for Leverkusen, this is also considered a valuable lesson for coach Xabi Alonso and his team.
