Leverkusen 3-0: Victory in the Europa League final and the first European title for Bergamaski

Atalanta thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final, with the Italian side lifting the trophy on a dream night. The player of the match was Ademola Lukman, who scored the three goals of the match.

Atalanta turned the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen into a healthy run as Gian Piero Gasperini’s impressive side cruised to a 3-0 win to claim their first ever European title.

A match in which the Italian team was better from the beginning and forced the “Aspirin” to their first defeat of the season.

Lokman opened the scoring in the 12th minute when the Nigerian striker threaded a beautiful pass from Zappacosta to the perfect Kovar to put his side ahead.

Atalanta, whose psychological state was in their favour, scored the second goal again through Lokman in the 26th minute.

The “brilliant” Italian national team player, after a wonderful individual effort, hit a beautiful shot from outside the area, putting the ball in the Germans’ goal for the second time in the match.

Despite the changes made by Xabi Alonso in the first half, Leverkusen were never able to get into the contest, and Atalanta were much better on the pitch.

Somehow, Gasperini’s side managed to score the third goal, again with Lokmane scoring the goal.

In fact, the Nigerian’s third goal was the best of all, as the 26-year-old capped a stunning victory for his side.

In this way, Atalanta won the European title for the first time in its history and in fact succeeded in achieving it in a wonderful way that its friends will remember forever.
