Bayer Leverkusen did not play like it did in the final match. Atalanta played as if it had nothing to lose. Mind you, they played like this against Liverpool and won 3-0 away. Atalanta wins stressful matches by playing comfortably and the opposing team cannot relieve the stress. He was comfortable because Leverkusen was seen as the favorite by most authorities. However, the match clearly showed us that this was not the case.
And when the favorites by many authorities cannot win the final as happened with Leverkusen, it also tells many people that in a final anything can happen and it is very important not to underestimate any opponent. Because the opponent who was not the favorite did have the fighting spirit to win the match, so this was truly proven in the efforts of Atalanta, who were generally not the favorites to win at that time. However, I myself am quite amazed by what Atalanta achieved because the team was able to silence many people's predictions and favorites.
