Atalanta have reached their inaugural European Cup final. The Serie A side will face Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night for the 2024 Europa League title match-up.

Xabi Alonso makes two changes as Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz are replaced by Nathan Tella and Patrik Schick in what promises to be an epic matchup between both sides and a potential final matchup.

1. Goals scored

Leverkusen entered this match as heavy favourites after becoming the first unbeaten Bundesliga team ever. But they were outmatched for much of the match and ultimately paid the price when former Chelsea fullback Davide Zappacosta’s low cross was attacked by Lookman, who beat Exequiel Palacios to sidefoot his finish home and score his goal.

Lookman doubled his total with another sublime goal in the second half, this time taking advantage of Granit Xhaka with an excellent nutmeg to beat him and steer his shot into the bottom corner of Bayer area. Lookman completed his treble late on when firing home from outside of box; Leverkusen tried hard for an equaliser but were unsuccessful, giving Serie A side their first ever European trophy win.

At halftime, Xabi Alonso made several substitutions from Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz to Nathan Tella and Patrik Schick in order to change Atalanta’s chances. Bayer Leverkusen attempted a few more attacks but were unable to threaten Atalanta’s goal.

2. Goals conceded

Leverkusen came into this final having gone undefeated throughout Xabi Alonso’s entire Bundesliga campaign, yet they found themselves second best throughout much of the first half. Former RB Leipzig player Ademola Lookman proved a constant threat throughout, sneaking past Exequiel Palacios before firing Atalanta ahead from close range with an exquisite curling effort after 14 minutes and then sealing his hat-trick with a powerful left-footed strike in the last seconds to help give Atalanta their first European trophy ever.

Atalanta’s defense was stable throughout, rarely troubled by their more direct Bundesliga rivals. Atalanta were lacking a clinical finisher and the best chance fell to Piero Hincapie who attempted to play Amine Adli through, only for Berat Djimsiti to make a brilliant block and save them both from scoring. Bayer Leverkusen made an immediate impactful comeback after halftime with some impressive passing moves that culminated with Granit Xhaka’s low cross being deflected away from Edmond Tapsoba by Edmond Tapsoba. Moments from victory, Germany were dealt an unjustifiable defeat as Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini fouled Patrik Schick in the penalty area; an official penalty call was then made but saved by goalkeeper Matteo Musso of Atalanta; otherwise this performance by Atalanta had been dominant and they truly deserved to win their first major trophy since 1968!

3. Goals in the first half

As both teams enter halftime, the score remains tied at zero apiece. Atalanta appears determined to punish any mistakes committed by Leverkusen players with swift, decisive counters from Atalanta players.

Even though they trailed by one goal, Atalanta fans are still celebrating as they enter the break – an auspicious sign for such an illustrious club!

Atalanta have been brilliant throughout and fully deserve their lead at half time. From the opening minute they have taken control and looked sharper in front of goal while being more disciplined defensively.

Leverkusen could have gone two goals ahead with more clinical finishing, although their goalkeeper Ederson made some important saves that prevented further goalscoring chances from the hosts.

Atalanta kick off the second half by replacing De Ketelaere with Pasalic, while Leverkusen make two substitutions with Josip Stanisic and Saed Kolasinac being swapped out with Victor Boniface and Giorgio Scalvini respectively.

4. Goals in the second half

Ademola Lookman scored three incredible hat-tricks to propel Atalanta to their inaugural European title and end Bayer Leverkusen’s hopes for an Invincible Treble. Though slow at first in possession, Atalanta showed incredible bite and directness in attack in the final third.

Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso made an early impression by deflecting away an exequiel Palacios volley before reacting quickly to block a deflected cross from Ederson da Silva.

Bayer immediately responded after halftime by pushing forward quickly but were quickly stopped by Musso’s defence, saving from Granit Xhaka before also stopping Jeremie Frimpong who managed to beat offside flag.

Piero Hincapie and Alex Grimaldo connected down the left flank, providing their visitors with a chance of striking back from behind when Alex Grimaldo should have scored from close range but misfired instead.

Bayer had six shots in the second half, yet couldn’t break through Musso’s immaculate defense. Although known for their come-from-behind wins, Xabi Alonso’s side will head back home disappointed after their record 51 match unbeaten streak in this competition came to an end under Gasperini and this match marks their first defeat under him since 2023-24 kicked off – Atalanta celebrated this result wildly and it marked an unforgettable evening for them and their supporters alike.

5. Goals scored by Atalanta

Atalanta’s 3-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final brought to an end the German club’s unbeaten streak and dashed their hopes of completing an unprecedented continental treble. Ademola Lookman scored three hat-tricks as Atalanta claimed their inaugural European trophy.

Atalanta’s incredible pressing continues to frustrate Leverkusen’s attack. Ally McCoist and Owen Hargreaves seem enthused about it!

Serie A side’s persistence is beginning to pay dividends as Jeremie Frimpong’s run into the box is blocked by Zappacosta and Ruggeri defenders; additionally they deny Florian Wirtz the space needed for turning on the edge of the area.

Atalanta’s dominance was rewarded when Teun Koopmeiners’ pass was too short for Leverkusen’s defence; Lookman was waiting and quickly took advantage by sliding it through Exequiel Palacios’ legs before dribbling it past him into the back post for Atalanta’s opener. Nigerian forward Lookman lit up any European final with his second strike as he nutmegged Granit Xhaka before firing into the bottom corner with an elegant shot that bends around Edmond Tapsoba and hit home from near the byline. With that score and Atalanta lifting their first major trophy since Jupp Heynckes scored against FC Twente back in 1975, Lookman became only the sixth player ever to score in major UEFA finals; also Atalanta lifted their first top-level trophy since their victory made history!

6. Goals scored by Bayer Leverkusen

Xabi Alonso’s side had gone undefeated throughout their Bundesliga campaign until Atalanta defeated them at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium with Ademola Lookman scoring three hat-tricks to end 61 years without trophy glory at Bergamo and spoil Die Werkself’s hopes of clinching Germany’s domestic double.

Leverkusen were second best for much of the first half, as former Charlton winger Lookman nearly scored in the opening minute with an effort that forced Juan Musso to parry it, before almost scoring again shortly thereafter. Teun Koopmeiners’ pass triggered a breakaway which saw Lookman slip past Davide Zappacosta before striking at Juan Musso with another attempt; Musso saved it, only for former RB Leipzig striker Victor Boniface to lash a weak attempt over instead.

However, Lookman’s third goal was enough to devastate Leverkusen hearts. The former Charlton man picked up the ball deep within his own half before using a pass to release himself and run past defender Josip Stanisic before nutmegging an Argentine to set up his shot that flew into the top corner amidst deafening applause from fans in Leverkusen Stadium.
