I was always one of the guys here who dont fully back Bayern Leverkusen in this tournament, in the last time i start to back them a litle bit more because they were showing a unique habilty to scape from every dificult situation, but also yesterday in this thread i said, for me it was super high odds 4.33 for Atalanta to win, and you see Atalanta oblited LEverkusen with a Lookman out of this world yesterday.

It is quite difficult to adequately assess the chances of a team and put a normal odds when the opponent is a team that has never lost and is now entering its last match of the season. So I'm not surprised by these odds, although like many people I believed in Liverkusen's victory. They have come a long way anyway and left behind broken records, so they can be proud of themselves

Leverkusen should still be proud of themselves because they credibly well this season, they won Bundesliga unbeaten and played almost all matches unbeaten in the Europa League until yesterday when Atalanta defeated them in their last match of the season that will make them a treble winners. This lose should not be an excuse to criticize their performance, in fact, I blame Alonso for putting some of his important players on bench in the beginning of the match, which shows that they completely did not expect a defeat against an Atalanta side that couldn’t make it to top four in their domestic league Seria A.

Leverkusen remain my best German team of the year and my best team of the season because they showed an impressive performance this season with average players that are not completely known in the world of football.

Next season, Leverkusen will go again and will make sure they have another wonderful season to prove to the world that this season is not just by luck.

I really hope they do manage to keep their form and continue to win and compete well with Bayern, they managed to break their 11 year winning streak in the Bundesliga so it would be fair to keep taking titles away from them. Just the fact that they never lost once in the season allowed fans to think they would win the Europa League, I thought so too but Atalanta showed their level
