We watched a similar final a few years ago in the Europa League final. Bayer Leverkusen were playing against Atalanta, a magnificent team. Everyone expected a decisive victory for Bayer Leverkusen, who hadn't lost a single match before the Atalanta match, but Atalanta destroyed Bayern Leverkusen in the final. We also saw a similar match in the Club World Cup. Chelsea weren't the favorites, but they won their match decisively. Therefore, the saying about being the favorites in the final is very true. I don't know which team will reach the Europa League final next year, but I'm confident an English team will win the trophy.

The Europa League final was really unexpected. At the beginning of that season, we considered Liverpool as the favorite team and we thought that Liverpool would qualify for the final, but Liverpool was eliminated long before the Europa League competition. Then when we saw Leverkusen's consistent performance in that season of the Europa League, we had a lot of confidence in Leverkusen and Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League final. Leverkusen's opponent in the final was Atalanta, Leverkusen had performed much better than Atalanta that season, but in the final match they defeated Leverkusen by a score of 3-0. In final matches, nothing can be said for sure because even bad teams sometimes perform well in the final match.
