but why should they be disappointed the fans have made a great journey but in any case they knew that they would find a fierce team like Atalanta who was surprised is because they are not well informed about Atalanta and the growth path it has had in recent years with gasperini and I assure you that he gave a hard time in Italy to teams much stronger than Bayern Leverkusen having said that I honestly expected an Atalanta victory but certainly not of this magnitude
It's very possible Leverkusen either ignored or weren't following up with the fact that Atlanta was having a growth curve that could be threatening if not payed attention to and then just this carefree part of their observation cost them the trophy they had fought all season for and now they are looking like they haven't been successful enough for a season as this which they were able to maintain a record that most team couldn't.
Atlanta had a progression in improvement that was least noticed by only a few which made most others somehow took them for granted until they won the Europa title and now the attention is gradually gett to them int he Italian league as they have set a record for the Italian teams, I'm sure by next season except for the French league which we didn't get to experience much surprise, across every other league in Europe there's going to be a different kind of competition as most underdogs are stepping up beyond the average level in their various leagues which will make competing in other top leagues even more tough.
This was his Girona progressed in the bundesliga and only got noticed towards the end of the season so I believe next season Atlanta will become such a top team that they may be ranking amongst the top both in their domestic league and other leagues where they will be playing, it's been a fulfilling season for them as they have been able to achieve that which they have not been able to achieve in a long time in their football history.
