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.
It was not only about Atalanta success in winning the Europa League trophy this season because based on existing news and information, that Atalanta made the Serie A team successful in winning the Europa League trophy again. Because based on historical records, it has been a very longtime since a Serie A team managedto win the Europa League trophy, because the last time a Serie A team got the Europa League trophy was Parma in the 1998/1999 season. Obviously, it was a long time untilthis season a Serie A team managedto winthe Europa League trophy again.
Not only that, based on historical records, this is Gian Piero Gasperini (Atalanta coach) first trophy during his coaching career. Amazingly, Atalanta managed to beat two teams that were strong candidates for winning the trophy in the Europa League this season,such as Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.Clearly, Atalanta success is a very bigachievement thatthey haveachieved this season. Congratulations to Atalanta and all the team as a whole ofcourse,because they did an incredible job to get the Europa League trophy this season.
