Yes, I also can't believe that people are still blaming Xavi for his failure in the Europa League final. Perhaps, for them the perfect result is easy to get, although in reality it is really very difficult to achieve. I just don't want it to be just Bayer Leverkusen's failure in the Europa League final, then they cover up Bayer Leverkusen's success in the domestic league. I think that is a wrong judgment because of course, Bayer Leverkusen managed to be the best this season despite failing to get the Europa League trophy.
What are their reason for blaming him for the loss in the Europa League finals? Do they have any proof that it was his tactical style that caused the loss? What do they think he would have done differently in the match? A coach who lost a single game in a season shouldn't be blamed for a loss. Yeah, he lost in the most important game, but that's football.
Because anyway, Atalanta was also not weak at all at that moment, because Liverpool was also defeated by Atalanta. So yes, I think results like this can indeed happen because after all, in football we all realize that any result can happen, and like this is the end.
Atalanta was not a weak side but Bayer Leverkusen was the favorite in that match. They won a Liverpool that is not also in good form. Almost all Europa fans believed that the Italian side had little chance of beating Bayer. To be sincere, the outcome of the match was a surprise to many sports analysts and fans. That's the fun and intrigue of sports, unexpected happens all the time.
