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.
Before the match I also considered Bayer Leverkusen as the favorites, but Atalanta came here by eliminating Lisbon, Marseille and Liverpool. Leverkusen won many rounds and games with last minute goals. Actually, I think they lost this cup because they wanted to go undefeated in the league. If they had started the league matches with a reserve squad when they secured the league title, they would have been stronger in this tournament. Their desire to win the league title undefeated caused them to have a bad ending in the UEFA Europa League.
