This could have been the most important success for Bayer Leverkusen, but their undefeated streak ended and they lost the cup. Two sad results came together. It's a sad week for them. However, if we look at the whole season, it was a great season and they only had 1 defeat. We need to congratulate Atalanta and Lookman. It was very difficult to beat this Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta game taught the vast majority never to underestimate any average club because this particular club is tasty for the big winning and more importantly, in the finals. Bayer Leverkusen lengthy unbeaten streak have come to am end after experiencing shocking defeats against Atalanta in the Europa League final. Xabi Alonso and the rest of the squad didn't see that coming but they have no option than embraced the result.
Alas, our Leverkusen boys entered that pitch thinking they had won. Soccer experts believe Atalanta is tough to beat. You'd think tactical genius Xabi Alonso would have prepared his team for their famed high-pressure, man-on-man defensive. We all make errors, right? Even our best. Its a sad loss, but it could be beneficial. This may wake up Xabi and his colleagues. They must realize that every squad deserves respect and that underestimating your opponent is disastrous.
Im not advocating quitting. Absolutely not. Im confident Xabi will learn from this and get stronger. His smarts will allow him to make the necessary changes. Who knows, he may change the formation or rotate the squad. He wont repeat his mistake.
