UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Palakka]

It must be admitted that Lookman was the one who scored 3 goals in Atalanta's win over Leverkusen in the Europa League final yesterday, but I see that Gasperini's strategic tactics are what enabled Atalanta to win the European Cup.
The reason is that Gasperini's tactical style, which uses high pressure man to man, made Xabi Aloso's tactics unsuccessful, and gave Lookman the role of being able to destroy Leverkusen's defense.
So Lookman was the star in yesterday's final match, but it must be admitted that all Atalanta players played as well as Lookman.

Since Atlanta beat Liverpool in the quarterfinals, my view on Atlanta has changed because I didn't think that Atlanta would be able to compete for the title this season, but seeing how structured the game was built by Atlanta I began to think if indeed Atlanta had great potential to reach the final and even win it,  So far, Atlanta has often been able to reach the final round even though they failed to win in the domestic championship, but still Atlanta's mentality of playing in the final was quite tested, especially at that time Atlanta had just faced failure in the Coppa Italia final, while Leverkusen actually they seemed to be depressed in the final even though they were able to dominate throughout the match.

Lookman became a player who destroyed Leverkusen treble winner dream this season, but behind lookman performance in the match, of course Gasperini had a very big hand with the scheme and also the game tactics applied by him in the match really made Leverkusen helpless, Gasperini who applied a game pattern that relied on high pressing and also long and fast passes was able to dampen the leverkusen game and even the 3-back scheme what has always been Gasperini mainstay is able to turn off the movement and sharpness of the Leverkusen players in the match.

I don't doubt Atalanta's back line because they are an Italian team which we know is always good in terms of defense, that's why I think Leverkusen couldn't take advantage of the gap to score a goal against Atalanta, but instead Atalanta was able to balance Leverkusen's game which ultimately made it difficult for Leverkusen players after Atalanta scored one goal, Leverkusen's confidence dropped and finally became out of control, Gasperini was quite clever and really mastered the way of play used by Xabi Alonso.

xabi alonso may have to learn a lot more in terms of tactics and strategy, of course Gasperini is not one of the coaches who might be able to read Leverkusen's style of play next season, Leverkusen and Atalanta seem to be playing in the same competition next season, namely the UCL, I think if they meet Again, of course Leverkusen will avenge yesterday's defeat because of course Xabi Alonso will make it even better, there will be no end to discussing the matches that have passed because we have to congratulate Atalanta for winning the UEL title this season and this team has to thank Lookman.

This could have been the most important success for Bayer Leverkusen, but their undefeated streak ended and they lost the cup. Two sad results came together. It's a sad week for them. However, if we look at the whole season, it was a great season and they only had 1 defeat. We need to congratulate Atalanta and Lookman. It was very difficult to beat this Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta game taught the vast majority never to underestimate any average club because this particular club is tasty for the big winning and more importantly, in the finals. Bayer Leverkusen lengthy unbeaten streak have come to am end after experiencing shocking defeats against Atalanta in the Europa League final. Xabi Alonso and the rest of the squad didn't see that coming but they have no option than embraced the result.

I expected Atalanta to beat Bayer Leverkusen. Yes, it was a shock, but Serie A fans know Atalanta under Gasperini is a threat. They've challenged top teams for years, above their weight. The score was surprising, but the win? Somewhat less. Certainly, Leverkusen has had a rough season. This loss? A wake-up. Even the best teams have off days. What, though? They have talent, coaches, and infrastructure to recover. Small blip on the radar. We don't just cheer when things go well. Standing by the team through tough times. Leverkusen needs our support in the DFB-Pokal final. Allow us to demonstrate that one loss doesn't define a season and our constant support.

Well I could say you are the only one on this taught because Bayern Leverkusen were more than enough prepared statistically to win that game looking at all the wonderful display of team work and team they have shown through out their 2023/24 season campaign but as faith may have it their unbeaten run had to be put to a stop at the most crucial time they even needed the win more which was so bad to see Because I for one really expected and even played that game with some cash in favor Leverkusen but after many wins with them they finally disappointed me and lost the game to Atlanta who I could say have been very good themselves but the gap and form difference between the two teams was just too obvious but football and it's wonders strikes again.

It's true that these results teach us a lot not to underestimate the average club because in fact the UEL is different from the UCL in that in this tournament the average club can win the final and we also can't predict it, but for the UCL only the best clubs can win the title and they have to going through difficult matches against top clubs, but for UEL, the underdog club still has a chance to win the title like what Atalanta achieved this season, no one expected it from the start.

Atalanta has represented the Italian club to win the title in international tournaments when other clubs were unable to do so, not even Inter and this is an extraordinary achievement achieved by Atalanta and it has recorded history that they have never achieved so far while at the same time it will further improve his confidence next season to compete in the UCL.

Alas, our Leverkusen boys entered that pitch thinking they had won. Soccer experts believe Atalanta is tough to beat. You'd think tactical genius Xabi Alonso would have prepared his team for their famed high-pressure, man-on-man defensive. We all make errors, right? Even our best. Its a sad loss, but it could be beneficial. This may wake up Xabi and his colleagues. They must realize that every squad deserves respect and that underestimating your opponent is disastrous.

Im not advocating quitting. Absolutely not. Im confident Xabi will learn from this and get stronger. His smarts will allow him to make the necessary changes. Who knows, he may change the formation or rotate the squad. He wont repeat his mistake.

Well I could say you are the only one on this taught because Bayern Leverkusen were more than enough prepared statistically to win that game looking at all the wonderful display of team work and team they have shown through out their 2023/24 season campaign but as faith may have it their unbeaten run had to be put to a stop at the most crucial time they even needed the win more which was so bad to see Because I for one really expected and even played that game with some cash in favor Leverkusen but after many wins with them they finally disappointed me and lost the game to Atlanta who I could say have been very good themselves but the gap and form difference between the two teams was just too obvious but football and it's wonders strikes again.

Nothing last forever as they say, so the loss to Atalanta was inevitable at that time because their winning streak will be coming to an end that day. Bayern Leverkusen have shown an unprecedented performance in this season in all competitions they’ve participated in. That I will say is enough to applaud them for that exceptional performance in this season. Atalanta had their chances and they were able to utilize it and won the Europa league even after losing the Copa Italia earlier before the Europa League final. All hopes on Bayern Leverkusen next season as they move into the next season in great style, let’s see if they can keep up with this great performance they’re showing now, and not be a one season wonder form. No team will take them with joke when they meet from next season, they’ll be super prepared for them in order to not be defeated by them as they meet from next season.

[QueenVera]

The contribution he made in the final match was extraordinary, 3 he scored we can say 3 beautiful goals that are difficult to anticipate by the leverkusen goalkeeper, lookman who is considered a failed player in the Premier League is actually able to make a very big contribution to Atlanta,  Lookman is currently on loan from Leicester City but I think he will remain a hero for Atlanta who finally broke Leverkusen unbeaten run this season, with Lookman contribution and current performances at Atlanta of course he is starting to be targeted by other big teams, reportedly Barcelona are currently interested in signing him next summer,  while Atlanta is unlikely to hesitate to make him permanent next season.

From the list of hat trick scorers you mentioned, of course we can say that Lookman is the first player who can score a hat trick in this modern football era, because if we compare the distance between the last hat trick scorer that occurred in the UEFA Cup in 1975, of course it is quite far and this indicates that scoring a hat trick in the Europa League is not an easy thing to do,  It took Lookman almost 49 years to become one of the players to score a hat trick after Jupp Heynckes last did it in 1975.

Ademola Lookman's remarkable hat-trick in the final match against Leverkusen showed his exceptional talent and impact on Atalanta's success. Despite facing criticism during his time in the Premier League, Lookman has flourished in Serie A, proving his capabilities and making significant contributions to his team. His three stunning goals in the final were a testament to his skill and ability to create scoring opportunities out of seemingly difficult situations. Lookman's performance not only secured victory for Atalanta but also positioned him as a standout player attracting attention from top clubs like Barcelona.
 
 The significance of Lookman's hat-trick goes beyond his individual achievement to mark a milestone in modern football. With the last hat-trick in a UEFA Cup occurring in 1975, Lookman's feat proves the difficulty of achieving such a feat in European competitions. His accomplishment after nearly five decades adds historical weight to his achievement, giving the challenges and exceptional skill required to score a hat-trick at this level of competition. Lookman's achievement is a reminder of the unpredictability of football, where moments of brilliance can emerge even after long periods of low performances.

 As Lookman's star continues to rise, both Atalanta and potential suitors like Barcelona are closely monitoring his performance and future prospects. While his loan status with Leicester City adds a layer of complexity, Atalanta may be eager to fully gain his services permanently given his significant contributions and growing impact on the team. Lookman's journey from being labeled as a "failed player" to becoming a hero for Atalanta reflects the resilience and determination in football, where players have the opportunity to rewrite their narratives and leave an indelible mark on the sport.

Well I could say you are the only one on this taught because Bayern Leverkusen were more than enough prepared statistically to win that game looking at all the wonderful display of team work and team they have shown through out their 2023/24 season campaign but as faith may have it their unbeaten run had to be put to a stop at the most crucial time they even needed the win more which was so bad to see Because I for one really expected and even played that game with some cash in favor Leverkusen but after many wins with them they finally disappointed me and lost the game to Atlanta who I could say have been very good themselves but the gap and form difference between the two teams was just too obvious but football and it's wonders strikes again.

There's every possiblity that Bayer Leverkusen will still remain formidable in every competition they'll participate in come next season but the truth is that Al the teams that'll play against them next season are definitely going to be very careful with how they expose their defense to Bayer Leverkusen. It's one thing to have a very good season but a much bigger work to repeat that same impressive performance in the following season and I think it'll be very difficult for Xabi Alonso's men to maintain their records of this season.
Bayer Leverkusen were the favorites to win the UEFA Europa League trophy this season after they reached the first of the competition but surprisingly, Atalanta convincingly defeated them in the final so expect other teams that'll face Bayer Leverkusen next season to have that strong believe that Bayer Leverkusen is very beatable

They must have come up with something new for the upcoming season from leverkusen in order to push it play in the UCL. I meant Bayern must be able to devise an alternate strategy when facing a defensive man-to-man marking opponent such as Atalanta and this is also making leverkusen feel so difficult to attack, xabi could have learned it. I rarely seen a Bundesliga club use this type of tactic but it's very often being used in the serie a. This makes it extremely difficult for Xabi to conceive of a solution in order to pass the marking by atalanta caused by there was no good level of player in the club who can leave from being marked.
The biggest difficulty is that Leverkusen's players are having average level. There is no one who could perform what Madrid did since there is no extraordinary player capable of running so quickly in the leverkusen. Gesperini has demonstrated that his experience is invaluable to his club's pursuit of its first trophy in many years and he has showed it in the match against leverkusen. Even xabi can do nothing in this game

Leverkusen never expected Atalanta to adopt a man-on-man marking tactic and it was very effective in order to prevent leverkusen from scoring. It makes it appear more difficult for Leverkusen to rise from the ashes. This has become Leverkusen's biggest vulnerability.
I believe Xabi needs to investigate a fresh strategy here in order to help it play in the UCL next season. He may not be able to utilize him at any moment, but Xabi has just won the DFB Pokal with Leverkusen. This season, we have two trophies. It was so amazing to see how leverkusen made huge progress in only two seasons under xabi.

Not awful at all.

Xabi Alonso plan was winning the treble but he fall out along the line. It was one of the tremendous season fro Leverkusen, having to lose just a game in the whole of 2023/2024 season and it was against the Atalanta in the Europa League. Atalanta was not in a rush, they calmly played Bayer Leverkusen and absorbed all pressure that was flowing in. Bayern Leverkusen will play the UEFA Champions League next season, I'm definitely sure they will manage to reach the very top.

Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen are always the main topic in the conversations I hear, especially in my environment, almost every time there is a gathering where there are people who like football, they don't miss out on talking about Leverkusen who have performed extraordinary this season under the direction of Xabi Alonso. This is their form of success and everyone appreciates it. Despite their defeat in the Europa League, it seems some people don't care about that.

Leverkusen also managed to win the title in the DFB Pokal after they managed to beat FCK in the final with a narrow score of 1-0. Even though they could only score 1 goal, it was more than enough to take them to the championship title. If only they had succeeded in becoming European League champions, then they would have definitely won the treble winner this season, but unfortunately that didn't happen because they had to lose concentration which ultimately made them lose in the European League final.

Atalanta will also play in the Champions League next season so everyone doesn't need to make excessive speculation before next season starts. Because of the surprise that was given by Atalanta in the final match of the Europa League this season, this should be taken as a very valuable lesson for anyone. So you don't need to speculate now because it's still too early to say, especially in the Champions League, there are many strong teams that are quite great and capable of providing unexpected surprises like Dortmund did this season.

Bayer Leverkusen's failure to win the Europa League tournament title is certainly a matter of hardship for them as they have been an unstoppable team throughout the season. Although it is difficult, they must be proud of their performance and the fans must cheer them on because no other team has been able to do what they have done this season. If this team could have won the Europa League tournament title they would have been all set but the challenge of doing well in the Champions League is something they must be prepared for. Bayer Leverkusen's performances this season have put them on the radar of most new teams, and now the big teams must plan hard before taking the field against this team. I expect Bayer Leverkusen to do well in the future and wish them all the best.

[xzone]

I watch every time with Ademola Lookman goals hattrick against Bayern Leverkusen, he did it too simple how easily scoring three goals with one shot always get potential making one goals.
Actually Ademola Lookman know well with Bundesliga team atmosphere because he was played with RB Leipzig and know the weakness side of Bayern Leverkusen defensive.
Its first time for Ademola Lookman make hattrick his appearance in  Europe League and success make Atalanta winning the Europe League trophy, I think most of teams looks disappointed after wasting the talented of Ademola Lookman from Premier League team Everton until several team not give him more minutes playing or become regular position with his previous team before.

I don't know if knowing the German league affected his play in this match. But we can say that Lookman gained serious value after this match. A few years ago he was valuable because he was a football player with great potential, but then he could not play as well as expected. But thanks to the goals he scored in the last match, he managed to make his team the champion, and now his transfermarkt value is much higher
We even started to see news about his transfer to a few teams. I don't think he will leave the team

[ShowOff]

Speculation is good, especially when you really want to know about Atalanta's potential for success in the Champions League next season. Atalanta is a participant in the Champions League in the 2021-2022 season, but Atalanta failed that season because its performance was very declining. Next season Atalanta will certainly gain confidence again to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, but Atalanta is not a team that is really expected to achieve great success in the Champions League.

Several new players are likely to be brought in next season so that Atalanta can improve their team's performance. Evaluation of the team's performance this season will certainly help them find problems, one of which is the problem of a defense that does not yet appear strong.

Atlanta became the only team to beat Leverkusen this season, Leverkusen defeat in the Europa League final certainly not only destroyed their dream of ending the season with a treble winner but also thwarted Alonso's ambitions to be able to achieve a record 53 games unbeaten this season, this season is certainly a very fantastic season for Leverkusen and Alonso,  But unfortunately the perfection of their journey was tarnished by the hat trick created by Lookman in the final match, Lookman who was previously considered a talented young player in the Premier League, he was slowly unable to maintain his performance and made him continue to be loaned from one team to another so that in the end Lookman was in Atlanta this season.

Lookman who managed to destroy Leverkusen dream this season has certainly become a hero after he was previously outcast from leicester , Lookman ability and speed in the final match yesterday was able to attract many teams to now sign him and I think in this case of course Leicester City will benefit a lot, the hat trick he managed to create in that game of course indirectly he became the center of attention so it is not surprising that his market value is now starting drastically increased.

For Leverkusen fans, Lookman is the player they least like, because he has tarnished their team flawless journey this season, and Lookman scored 3 goals against Leverkusen to ensure victory for Atalanta. However, Leverkusen journey this season also deserves appreciation, and Atalanta deserves praise and congratulations for their success in handing Xabi fleet the only defeat.

Perhaps this is the biggest surprise that has happened this season, where everyone previously favored Leverkusen, of course it makes sense considering that Xabi fleet is unbeatable. But once again, luck sometimes favors at will, even though Leverkusen has worked hard, Xhaka and his colleagues seem to have lost their magic.

Atalanta will certainly be remembered as the club that was able to tarnish the history made by Leverkusen, the perfect season by winning the treble winner failed to materialize. However, this defeat is not the end of Leverkusen journey, where this painful defeat could be a valuable experience for Xabi and his fleet next season.

They must have come up with something new for the upcoming season from leverkusen in order to push it play in the UCL. I meant Bayern must be able to devise an alternate strategy when facing a defensive man-to-man marking opponent such as Atalanta and this is also making leverkusen feel so difficult to attack, xabi could have learned it. I rarely seen a Bundesliga club use this type of tactic but it's very often being used in the serie a.

Even xabi can do nothing in this game

Leverkusen never expected Atalanta to adopt a man-on-man marking tactic and it was very effective in order to prevent leverkusen from scoring. It makes it appear more difficult for Leverkusen to rise from the ashes. This has become Leverkusen's biggest vulnerability.
I believe Xabi needs to investigate a fresh strategy here in order to help it play in the UCL next season. He may not be able to utilize him at any moment, but Xabi has just won the DFB Pokal with Leverkusen. This season, we have two trophies. It was so amazing to see how leverkusen made huge progress in only two seasons under xabi.

Not awful at all.

The match between Leverkusen and Atalanta was already foreseen to be competitive, but Leverkusen got so vulnerable at the earliest moment of the game after the first goal was netted. Despite expectations for Leverkusen to bounce back and exert pressure on Atalanta, they got disorganized, allowing Lookman to exploit gaps and secure a crucial goal for Atalanta. This initial setback seemed to cost Leverkusen dearly, seen in Xabi's panic as they were behind by two goals before the injury time. The mounting pressure from Atalanta increased Leverkusen's struggles, giving them the ability to take control of the match.

 Leverkusen has shown resilience in previous matches by series of comebacks, their efforts were broken and condemned by Atalanta's solid defense and Lookman's three winning goals in the game. Leverkusen's performance throughout the match was lacking in several areas with their attempts to outrun Atalanta's defense proving ineffective. Despite the disappointment, Xabi's efforts to lead Leverkusen to this stage should be appreciated and honored too.

 In conclusion, Atalanta's victory over Leverkusen was a significant achievement, breaking Leverkusen's unbeaten record and demonstrating their feats on the field. Leverkusen's lackings in the match gave them areas for improvement, particularly in maintaining composure under pressure and breaking through resistive defenses. While the defeat is a huge loss, it's not the end for Leverkusen, and they can use this experience to regroup, learn, and come back stronger in future matches. Congratulations to Atalanta for their well-deserved victory, and for proving themselves as a formidable opponent throughout the match. Leverkusen definitely should be looking forward to their DFB pokal encounter and I'm certain it'd be an easy win for them. There and then they'd be crowned with two trophies.

Speculation is good, especially when you really want to know about Atalanta's potential for success in the Champions League next season. Atalanta is a participant in the Champions League in the 2021-2022 season, but Atalanta failed that season because its performance was very declining. Next season Atalanta will certainly gain confidence again to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, but Atalanta is not a team that is really expected to achieve great success in the Champions League.

Several new players are likely to be brought in next season so that Atalanta can improve their team's performance. Evaluation of the team's performance this season will certainly help them find problems, one of which is the problem of a defense that does not yet appear strong.

Thanks to winning the Europa League final, Gasparini most likely will be able to receive additional funding in the summer, this will strengthen the team, but I agree that Atalanta is not that team, which is capable of achieving great success in the Champions League. And the main reason for this is the unstable play, this is a long-standing problem of Atalanta, they are capable of playing great, but at some point they simply begin to lose and concede more than they should.

This could have been the most important success for Bayer Leverkusen, but their undefeated streak ended and they lost the cup. Two sad results came together. It's a sad week for them. However, if we look at the whole season, it was a great season and they only had 1 defeat. We need to congratulate Atalanta and Lookman. It was very difficult to beat this Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta game taught the vast majority never to underestimate any average club because this particular club is tasty for the big winning and more importantly, in the finals. Bayer Leverkusen lengthy unbeaten streak have come to am end after experiencing shocking defeats against Atalanta in the Europa League final. Xabi Alonso and the rest of the squad didn't see that coming but they have no option than embraced the result.

I expected Atalanta to beat Bayer Leverkusen. Yes, it was a shock, but Serie A fans know Atalanta under Gasperini is a threat. They've challenged top teams for years, above their weight. The score was surprising, but the win? Somewhat less. Certainly, Leverkusen has had a rough season. This loss? A wake-up. Even the best teams have off days. What, though? They have talent, coaches, and infrastructure to recover. Small blip on the radar. We don't just cheer when things go well. Standing by the team through tough times. Leverkusen needs our support in the DFB-Pokal final. Allow us to demonstrate that one loss doesn't define a season and our constant support.

Well I could say you are the only one on this taught because Bayern Leverkusen were more than enough prepared statistically to win that game looking at all the wonderful display of team work and team they have shown through out their 2023/24 season campaign but as faith may have it their unbeaten run had to be put to a stop at the most crucial time they even needed the win more which was so bad to see Because I for one really expected and even played that game with some cash in favor Leverkusen but after many wins with them they finally disappointed me and lost the game to Atlanta who I could say have been very good themselves but the gap and form difference between the two teams was just too obvious but football and it's wonders strikes again.
