In fact, from the moment Atalanta was able to send Liverpool home, we could see how far they could develop and it seemed that it was not just luck and they started to beat their next opponents. It's very rare to see an underdog team like Atalanta who can go so smoothly and even they make it seem like the favorite team has no chance of replying to their goal.
I think it's not just Roma that will remain a threat in the European league, considering that there will be other strong clubs dropping out of the Champions League and that will increase the intensity of the competition, making it even more exciting. I think next season's European League will still present interesting things and maybe more than just the favorite teams, we will see the same thing as this season.
Previously, Liverpool and Leverkusen were the teams that were predicted to reach the final round, but in fact when we hope that these two great teams can meet in the final match, Atlanta is able to surprise all of us with their ability to overcome every pressure from the favorite team to win, Atlanta is indeed considered a mediocre team and even so far they do not have much experience and achievements in the European league, So it is quite natural that they are considered a Mediocre team so far, even compared to Atlanta, of course other Italian teams such as Milan and Roma are actually the favorite teams, but in fact, Atlanta surprised us by reaching the final and also winning it this season.
Next season we are likely to see tighter competition in the European League, because indeed many big teams have failed to qualify for the Champions League this season, so it will make the European League seem to be no less exciting than the Champions League next season, with several big teams that will play in the European League, of course the European League will be very competitive and maybe there will be a surprise presented at the end of the season.
