Congratulations to Atalanta for being the Winner of this Europa League 2023-2024 after beating the most favorite club, Leverkusen.
There are some facts for this:
- Leverkusen record of unbeaten was broken this time
- Leverkusen was the favorite, but finally, Atalanta is the winner.
- Leverkusen even couldn't score any goal in this final, none. zero. 3 - 0.
- Leverkusen may have much higher ball possession, but Atalanta had the more goals to be the winner.
- Lookman was the man of the match. He was Hattrick in this Europa League. How cool!!!!

I hadn`t seen your message, but I must say that you have finally summed up all the reasons why Atalanta dominated.
He had a quiet season, if you like, in silence without attracting too much attention, and he won the Europa League and is preparing to steal Roma`s place in the Champions League: well done Atalanta.

Atalanta towards the end of this season surprised a lot of people with their wonderful performance. When they lost in Coppa Italian finals, I had it in mind that they were more focus on the Europa League finals and not Coppa Italia which is a smaller competition compare to Europa league competition.

Leverkusen reached their last match unbeaten but they could not win the match after so much effort that they put in the second half to see how they can equalize the the two goals, but instead a third goal was scored again and that finally showed them that they cannot win the match. I feel for them and Xabi Alonso who thought that the trophy was already theirs. Atalanta have proved that they are better in a finals than Leverkusen. Who knows maybe it was the final pressure that made Leverkusen unable to put themselves back in the game, just like what they use to do before.
