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.

Well Atalanta also silenced my bet at that time, now the Europa League Final has finished and next season both Leverkusen and Atalanta will appear in the UCL and this will also be a surprise because the two will meet again in the Champions League. The final result is an important lesson for Leverkusen that this defeat is not the end of everything. A much bigger challenge awaits at UCL and Xabi Alonso must be more enthusiastic about improving his squad performance. Not only that, in the Bundesliga Leverkusen is challenged to defend its championship title.

After Atalanta defeated Bayer Leverkusen to win the UEFA Europa League trophy, many people around me who actually gambled on that game have been telling me of how they lost huge money because of the result of that game. I didn't bet on the game because I personally thought that it was a going to be a difficult game for both teams but fir the people that did stake their bet on that game, what actually made them to believe that it was going to be an easy win for Bayer Leverkusen have left in huge surprise. We all saw what Atalanta did to a big club like Liverpool who were considered as one of the favorites to win the competition this season so what made most of you to write Atalanta off after eliminating a big club like Liverpool?. Maybe most of you were carried away by Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten run in all competitions but unfortunately for Leverkusen, Atalanta gave them more than what they can chew.
