It's true, Atalanta didn't win because of luck, they won because of their hard work and the strategy they implemented was successful in beating Leverkusen. It was a success and they even won with a landslide score.
They succeeded in implementing very good defense so that Liverpool could not easily break into their goal, on the other hand, on the front line they were very effective in converting their opportunities into goals. That is a very good thing, even though it is not in accordance with what we predicted at the beginning.
Atalanta succeeded in proving that they could also provide something surprising, not only could they beat Liverpool, who were the top team, and they could even beat Leverkusen, who had never been beaten this season.

We must distinguish between wins due to luck and wins resulting from hard work. Both have different ways of achieving victory, luck is obtained after winning through a penalty shootout, while victory comes from hard work, as Atalanta did against Liverpool and Leverkusen. On paper, Liverpool and Leverkusen are too strong for a team like Atalanta to face, but because of the enthusiasm of the Atalanta players who want to win the match when facing a strong team, they are able to play with discipline and take advantage of opportunities to score goals. No one ever thought that Atalanta would be able to beat Leverkusen, but because the players had great enthusiasm and wanted to win the title, Atalanta was able to give Leverkusen their first defeat this season.

I will not agree that Liverpool and Leverkusen are stronger than Atalanta, and that it was because of the players great enthusiasm that made them to win these two clubs 3-0 each. All these clubs are playing in various leagues and they have their different tactics, which it is the one with the best tactics that can outsmart the other club that will win the game. Atalanta was stronger than both Liverpool and Leverkusen due to their game tactics. Atalanta was able to seal up their defense and uses counter to penetrate their opponents defense. One thing that surprises me is that they don't always miss a good one on one. It shows that they have professional strikers.
