Xabi Alonso plan was winning the treble but he fall out along the line. It was one of the tremendous season fro Leverkusen, having to lose just a game in the whole of 2023/2024 season and it was against the Atalanta in the Europa League. Atalanta was not in a rush, they calmly played Bayer Leverkusen and absorbed all pressure that was flowing in. Bayern Leverkusen will play the UEFA Champions League next season, I'm definitely sure they will manage to reach the very top.
Atalanta will also play in the Champions League next season so everyone doesn't need to make excessive speculation before next season starts. Because of the surprise that was given by Atalanta in the final match of the Europa League this season, this should be taken as a very valuable lesson for anyone. So you don't need to speculate now because it's still too early to say, especially in the Champions League, there are many strong teams that are quite great and capable of providing unexpected surprises like Dortmund did this season.
Speculation is good, especially when you really want to know about Atalanta's potential for success in the Champions League next season. Atalanta is a participant in the Champions League in the 2021-2022 season, but Atalanta failed that season because its performance was very declining. Next season Atalanta will certainly gain confidence again to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, but Atalanta is not a team that is really expected to achieve great success in the Champions League.
Several new players are likely to be brought in next season so that Atalanta can improve their team's performance. Evaluation of the team's performance this season will certainly help them find problems, one of which is the problem of a defense that does not yet appear strong.
