Defying all odds, Atalanta Bergamo emerged triumphant in the Europa League final held in Dublin, overpowering Bayer Leverkusen with a convincing 3-0 victory. It marked the first time Leverkusen suffered a defeat this season, breaking their unbeaten streak, with Ademola Lookman scoring a remarkable hat-trick.

Atalanta’s win secured only the second title in the club’s history, following their 1963 Italian Cup triumph. This victory underlines the remarkable transformation of the Italian side since 2016, spearheaded by their coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen, unbeaten in 51 matches across all competitions until the final, missed out on completing a historic treble after clinching the German league title without a single loss.

Despite Leverkusen’s unparalleled form this season, Atalanta displayed superior energy and intensity on the field, proving too strong for the German outfit. Lookman’s hat-trick was a testament to Atalanta’s resurgence at a crucial stage of the competition, with Gasperini’s tactics shining through.

Lookman’s exceptional performance, resonating with his standout displays at the Africa Nations Cup for Nigeria, propelled Atalanta to European glory. His trio of goals cemented Atalanta’s status as a rising force in the footballing world.
