UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[viananda2525]

I knew Atalanta had a fighting chance but I never expected how the previously unbeaten Leverkusen to not even score a goal. It's just embarrassing for the Bundesliga champions to be losing that way. Congratulations to Atalanta and Lookman for an impressive performance. I won't be surprised if bigger teams from Europe start fighting over him in the offseason.

Atalanta win the game was a big surprise and unexpected one, even before the game started many people had thought Bayer Leverkusen would be the winner of the game.  In first half of the game Atalanta dominated the game and scored 2 goals from look lookman and after the first half I was thinking Bayer Leverkusen would be a able to come back in the second half to lead the game just like how it has always happened to them in other goals but it was so sad that they couldn't happen. Bayer Leverkusen losing the game to Atalanta was not a bad one though,  because they are already champions in Bundesliga.

Congratulations to Atalanta and big win for lookman, I never believed Atalanta will go with title of the league. Bayer Leverkusen performance was not bad but they were unlucky and not able to create opportunities, I must say Atalanta performance was really great, good to see them in the Champions League next season.

Many people choose Bayer Leverkusen because they have a brilliant record in the Bundesliga, but very few people remember Atalanta being able to embarrass Liverpool? I don't see Atalanta by chance qualifying for the final and winning the championship, but that Gasperini's troops were really able to be direct and compact enough that they succeeded in sinking Leverkusen with a big score of 3-0. Alonso has really learned quite a valuable lesson and he must be ready again to face another final in the DFB Pokal. Good luck again Leverkusen and congratulations to La Dea too!

Things went quite the opposite way of my thinking last night.    I don't remember Leverkusen playing this horrible for a long time. I don't even know why Xabi Alonso wanted to start with a different kind of lineup.
 

It was a very great game, and believe me when i tell you that Leverkusen did not play horrible ; Atalanta completely dominated them in every areas of the football pitch, and to cap it all up; Ademola Lookman scored great goals to crown the excellent tactical and performance excellences from nthe europa league champions.

Big Lessons for Alonso as well, as next season will be different for Leverkusen

To me,what actually caused Bayern Leverkusen's defeat is over excitement and too much praises from people about their unbeaten run.They feel because they have won the league,they can go ahead to win every other trophy they play, forgetting that Atalanta were in the form of their lifes before the game.But one thing I love about this Leverkusen team is the believe they always have,I believe they still had in mind that despite Atalanta getting those two goals against them in the first half,they would come back to draw the game in the second half,but that did not happen yesterday,as I think it wasn't their day.

So, the question is whether Bayer Leverkusen will be able to fight against big clubs in the Champions League, even though they have not been defeated at all in the Domestic League, but in reality in the Final match their mentality disappeared as if they had been swallowed by the earth.  Of course, many people don't believe in Bayer Leverkusen's defeat to Atalanta and the defeat of many parties on several gambling sites. Of course, the disappointment regarding everyone's bets is proof that public trust in the Leverkusen match is very high, so it is not surprising that there are many defeats in this match.

I knew a whole lot of criticism will definitely emerge from the fact that Bayer Leverkusen lost this finals but then leat think about it from a different points of view, I'm not trying to justify loosing the finals as worth doing but then factors surrounding the situation isn't such that can be ignored in judging the results of which we definitely know Play a big role influencing the performance of the team and the result they happen to get eventually.

Leverkusen were under too many pressure at a time and lost their composure and not their mentality and not starting Boniface who's good bat been creative at the front line was an error which was made in the first half and coming in at the second half to correct the two goals deficit in a final game was actually a dunting task that isn't easy to achieve of which they weren't able to achieve by the end of the second half, basically I think that's the main reason Leverkusen lost the finals, if they had ended the bid for the record all along and all they were after was winning the trophy then maybe it would have been easy for them to be able to have an opportunity to winning the trophy as the pressure would have been just around winning the trophy.

Throughout the league games they were in a very good form and had brilliant performance so I think it will be much better if they are been judged by their total performance throughout the season and not just the single finals game, they are definitely going to be able to contend fairly against some of the champions league teams but may not be able to get to the finals, or even keep an unbeaten record but they are most definitely going to making sure they are able to get as much experience as possible and probably in subsequent champions league they could dare to win the trophy but for the new season I'm particular about them been able to get through to a good point in the champions league.

It's always Europa League who make big upset, really unpredictable.

I'm surprised how can Leverkusen's players didn't play really well, they only able to control the ball possession, but they're making many mistakes especially in long ball. Atalanta's players are really good for maximizing the counter attack moment. Lookman, out of nowhere player can score hattrick, he got spotlight in this match, probably few big teams will interested to try him.

Now Leverkusen's unbeatable 51 match record is over, I doubt there will be a team can reach it.

Bayer Leverkusen played very well, it's just that they didn't play as aggressively as Atalanta and also didn't have the luck like Atalanta. Honestly, I was quite disappointed to see the results of this match, because Bayer Leverkusen have been fighting since the start of the competition until they finally got to the final, but they didn't manage to get the trophy, they should have been able to get the treble this season but it looks like they will only get the Bundesliga title & DFB Pokal.

Atalanta win the game was a big surprise and unexpected one, even before the game started many people had thought Bayer Leverkusen would be the winner of the game.  In first half of the game Atalanta dominated the game and scored 2 goals from look lookman and after the first half I was thinking Bayer Leverkusen would be a able to come back in the second half to lead the game just like how it has always happened to them in other goals but it was so sad that they couldn't happen.

Gasperini and Atalanta made big surprise with their approach to play very attacking since the match kick off. They were not fearful at any level even the opponent is unbeaten before the final match in all competitions.

The brilliant individual performance of Lookman helped Atalanta to have a big win and this player contributed important part for Atalanta success but as Xabi Alonso said after the final, Atalanta had a better tactics for the final and in face to face fighting, Atalanta players mainly won against Leverkusen players.

Bayer Leverkusen losing the game to Atalanta was not a bad one though,  because they are already champions in Bundesliga.

Congratulations to Atalanta and big win for lookman, I never believed Atalanta will go with title of the league. Bayer Leverkusen performance was not bad but they were unlucky and not able to create opportunities, I must say Atalanta performance was really great, good to see them in the Champions League next season.

Xabi Alonso deserves to be an ex-assistant coach of Pep Guardiola by overthinking. What the hell thinking he had by reserve two best striker, Boniface and Schick on bench and best midfielder Andrich on bench too?

Only Xabi Alonso knew why he did these strange decisions for this final match that contributed to poor performance of Leverkusen in the first half. Atalanta played excellent in the first half and with two goal difference, they played defensive in next 30 minutes before Lookman finalized the final with his third goal from a quick counter attack.

I didn't understand anything from the Leverkusen game this evening. Atalanta made them look very ordinary. Atalanta acted like Leverkusen wouldn't score even one goal in the full 90 minutes. Atalanta is an Italian force with an attacking style that isn't typical for Italian teams. Imagine beating Liverpool at Anfield easily. Bayer Leverkusen was prepared for Atalanta FC but wasn't ready for Lookman, who saw through their defense.Leverkusen's charm has ended; they only performed well in the Bundesliga. I think Xabi Alonso became complacent. How can he start with six defenders, four midfielders, and no forwards? This was a tough lesson for Alonso from an Italian expert, and it will benefit him in the future. Congratulations to Atalanta FC.

Alonso ended the season with a defeat in the final, I said that the final is always a special match. And Atalanta showed that they are capable of beating both Liverpool and Bayer, and these victories were so convincing that there was no doubt who was stronger. And Atalanta became the team that broke Bayer's record. Bayer was lucky several times during the playoffs, but this did not happen in the match with Atalanta, I had a feeling that Bayer would have a difficult time in the final...

The match actually have some historic significance as I have come to learn. First, it marked the first major trophy of Gian Piero Gasperini in his coaching career. Second, it marked the first defeat of Xabi Alonso and Bayern Leverkusen in all competitions this season. If these are not historic enough, then I don't seem to know what will qualify as historic.

From the beginning of the match until the end, the German side were outplayed and reduced to an ordinary team, far from the champions that humiliated giants like Bayern Munic and As Roma. In the usual football fans banters, Bayern Leverkusen players were taunted to have had too much beer in the celebration of their Bundesliga trophy celebration, the reason they couldn't play well as expected. Well, that is the fun of the game.... there will always be a winner.

Leverkusen oh Leverkusen, I lost my bet today because I was too optimistic about their win that I forgot that Atalanta had prepared an unexpected surprise. Without being able to score a goal back, it made me a little confused because Leverkusen's beautiful game was actually defeated by the Italian representatives.  what I fear will happen, Atalanta will be the only club that has managed to break Leverkusen unbeaten record. Atalanta pride certainly makes other clubs feel flattered, especially Bundesliga teams who are unable to do this, represented by Atalanta.

What happened in the final match was certainly very surprising and seemed to disappoint many bettors, because I'm sure many bet on Bayer Leverkusen with a large goal margin but on the contrary, it was quite unbelievable that their impressive record finally stopped in the match to win the title that is quite prestigious, but what is quite strange is how they were not only unable to reply but were unable to guard their goal well so they had to lose by a landslide score, and when Atalanta beat Liverpool at Anfield with the same score it should have been a warning that they are not just any team even though throughout the season their performance was not as impressive as Bayer, but in fact they are much more ready.

Sorry for your loss mate. I believe that a lot of people would lose their money in this game because they are confident with Leverkusen's game this season, they do not think that their unbeaten record is going to end against Atalanta who is in the 5th position in the Seria A league. Atalanta looked very prepared in this game because, in the first half, Leverkusen conceded two goals, it was even funny to me that Lookman destroyed his fellow Afcon players' dream to win their second trophy of the season with a hat trick. This victim alone meant a lot to Atalanta, they ended Leverkusen's dream of winning a treble, and their unbeaten record was ended after 51 games of the season.

Congratulations to Atalanta for winning their first Europa League trophy, they deserved it, as they eliminated Liverpool, Sporting and Marseille in this competition. We know how strong these three clubs are this season and Atalanta was able to defeat them. However, I wasn't surprised with this defeat over Leverkusen because their opponents are very tough, despite that they lost Coppa Italian to Juventus doesn't mean that they will still lose their chances of winning their trophy of the season. I even stated in the Italian league that we shouldn't be surprised if Leverkusen's unbeaten record comes to an end against Atalanta.

Defeats was never in the books for Bayer Leverkussen this season, they've passed through challenges and overcoming them with ease efforts but last night was different, not all other days because this one was a serious fight for Europa League title and they got humiliated by the Seria A side. The special winning Atalanta lay eyes on and never stop believing to become Europa League winners this season. Bayer Leverkusen fans couldn't believe before their very own eyes they lost 3 nil at Dublin.

[emrecemsan]

The match went very surprising for most people without doubt. It was like most of the world were waiting for Leverkusen to win.    I guess nobody expected them to play this poorly - including me. 

I didn't like Xabi Alonso's tactical preferences in this match. It didn't fit a coach like him who had a 51-match unbeaten series. Gasperini looked well-prepared against their tough opponent though. His players performed fearlessly. 

By the way while it was 2-0 I still couldn't be sure of Atalanta. You know the Roma comeback. But Lookman's completing a hat-trick by a great goal sealed the deal! Completely deserved win and a marvelous effort by Lookman.

The Europa League remained unpredictable until the very end, although after Atalanta's victory over Liverpool it was worth thinking about the fact that this team could become the main contender for victory. But everyone was talking about Alonso’s success at Bayer, about their record, and no one was talking about the fact that Atalanta would be able to repeat in the final the same thing they did with Liverpool. Gasperini finally achieved meaningful success with Atalanta. And doesn't this mean for Roma that they can now get a place in the Champions League, since Atalanta gets a place in the Champions League as the winner of the EL?

there are several differences and some of Xabi tactics that made me very emotional.
first point is that the Leverkusen players did not have the opportunity to attack because the Atalanta players continued to apply pressure by chasing every ball towards the Leverkusen players and blocking the opportunity to pass it to other players.
I mean, if you look back at the Leverkusen players, their playing style is always easily guessed by the Atalanta players and you will definitely also see how Atalanta playing style is like continuing to press the Leverkusen players until the mentality of the Leverkusen players becomes a little less confident, always less ready to control the ball and too often lost the ball.
and on the one hand, Leverkusen mistake is that they always have difficulty getting opportunities to score, but when they have the opportunity to score, everything is in vain, like the opportunity that Alex Grimaldo got, it was very clear that he could score, but he couldn't control the ball to score.

Leverkusen next mistake was when a teammate got the ball, the other players just waited for the ball and didn't try to find free space to launch an attack and this was often easy for Atalanta to guess and ended up Leverkusen continuing to get a deadly attack that could score 3.
In conclusion, in yesterday's match, Atalanta was much more prepared and confident to face this match and Leverkusen had a big mistake in players who were not able to look for opportunities at every opportunity.

Atalanta is a team filled with surprises. Bayer Leverkusen, who have been dominant this season and with their unbeaten record, has made people forget the fact that Atalanta once silenced Liverpool 0-3 at Liverpool's home ground. I think the victory they got over Liverpool was not just luck, even, this is proof that Atalanta is a team with good performance and has the capability to become European League champions.

Bayer Leverkusen did not completely play badly, it's just that every effort they make is still not enough to be a goal because Atalanta's defense played quite solidly and Juan Musso is truly a tough goalkeeper who was able to stop several good opportunities that Leverkusen had. However, the one who really shined that night was Ademola Lookman because with the hat trick, he made Atalanta can get a steady victory and became Europa League champions for the first time in their history.

This is very disappointing and surprising to many people, especially me, saw some of the football news today and was very disappointed with the final result of the Europa Final Match, Atalanta, who was not the favorite, was able to prove to everyone that he was truly capable of completing his job well to beat Leverkusen.

Everyone has different thoughts from everyone, including yourself, regarding Xabi Alonso's tactical preferences in all the matches Leverkusen has played so far. Gasperini is a tough and experienced coach so it is not surprising if they are able to do that in this Final match. , the players are very good, even though they previously lost to Juventus in the Coppa Italia Final, in the Europa Final they were able to recover to create big history in the Europa League. Of course Atalanta and Gasperini deserve a thumbs up from football fans.

[rdluffy]

I'm not going to comment too much on the game here as it's already been talked about enough hehe

But I do want to say that soccer is a very interesting sport, which is why it's the most popular. How can we explain Atalanta's victory yesterday?
There's simply no logical explanation, the Italian team, only in 5th place in the national championship, against the German team undefeated in the season, and the result of 3x0

Who were the lucky ones who bet on Atalanta yesterday?
I lost my bet on Leverkusen hahaha, because I was convinced that I didn't have much to think about for yesterday's game

Atalanta simply eliminated the current Portuguese champions (Sporting), Liverpool, Olympique and beat Leverkusen in the final

I watched the Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen UEFA Europa League final game last night from the very first minute till the last and I don't think I'll agree to the opinion that  Bayer Leverkusen didn't play well. Few days ago, I made a post on this thread in which I said that the biggest mistake Bayer Leverkusen will do in that game is to underestimate the strength of their Italian opponents in that final and looking at how Bayer Leverkusen approached that game from the start to finish, I think they were too relaxed and had that strong confidence and conviction that they're definitely going to beat Atalanta in the final.
The Italian club approached the game with more determination for a win and that's why they succeeded in winning that particular game against Leverkusen last night. Ademola Lookman was insanely electrifying last night with his performance and that was why he became the first footballer to score a hattrick im the final of the competition.

I'm sure many people lost their bets yesterday in the final match. Because I'm the same way. I even hope Leverkusen can turn things around in the second half. But another surprise occurred, namely that Atalanta looked even stronger in the second half. And Atalanta even added a 1 goal lead.

At the end of the first half Leverkusen seemed to be starting to be more aggressive in attacking and trying to dismantle Atalanta's defense. And I hope that continues in the second half. But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. Because since the first half Leverkusen had gaps in their back line. And I hope that in the second half Leverkusen can repair and cover these gaps. But I don't see any improvement at all other than a few additional players to play more attacking. But the defense remained the same and as a result they conceded again and allowed Atalanta to win with great pride. I acknowledge Atalanta's greatness in that match. And they deserved to win.

[rendravolt]

The nightmare was named Ademola Lookman and with his hat trick dashed Leverkusen's hopes of winning the European league and breaking their unbeaten record. Of course, no one expected the result to be like this and I am sure that many bettors lost money in this match. From the first minute Atalanta clearly really wanted to win the match and they quickly took the lead in the first half with a goal scored by Ademola Lookman.

It didn't stop there, not long after Ademola Lookman scored the second goal and I thought, maybe later Leverkusen could turn things around as usual? But unfortunately it never came. What happened was that Atalanta killed the match with the third goal from Ademola Lookman who was brilliant with his agile movements and at that moment Leverkusen had no reason to comeback. Well, congratulations to Atalanta who won the European league for the first time and maybe they have become opponents to be reckoned with since this victory.
