H2H from the previous two matches, of course Atalanta is superior. But many people, including me, think it's time for Leverkusen. The most basic consideration is that Leverkusen is unbeaten this season in the Bundesliga, while Atalanta is still struggling in Serie A to maintain 5th position so they can play in the UCL in the next season.
Yes, the match is over, and this is the condition on the field. One goal turns out to be difficult to get, let alone win the match.

The surprise given by Atalanta really silenced many people who had favored Leverkusen in the final match. So it was quite natural that at that time there were many people who were surprised by the result of the match which was completely unexpected, because Leverkusen itself also had a target of three trophies this season. But it has ended very sadly although Leverkusen can still get more praise from their fans now for the extraordinary achievements they have made this season.

Leverkusen didn't lose a single match this season, but they faced a heavy defeat in the Europa League final against Atalanta, losing 3-0. It's a reminder that what goes up must come down. Despite their incredible achievements this season, this unexpected loss in the final tarnished their record which not expected by anyone's. But in football, such surprises can happen. Hopes for winning treble this season came to end.

They actually beat more important teams this season, but Atalanta concentrated more on the final match. They showed us this throughout the match, they had a great preparation phase. It seems like they researched Leverkusen's weakest points and found them. Leverkusen did not expect this, and the fact that they tasted defeat after 51 matches reminded everyone that they were actually a beatable team. They really wanted to end the season with 3 trophies, but this is now impossible. They will take part in the UCL next year and will want to show their real strength there. Congratulations Gasperini and his students. A magnificent victory.
