Leverkusen has suffered a tough blow, losing 0-3 to Atalanta Bergamo in the Europa League final in Dublin. This defeat marks their first loss of the season after an impressive run of 51 unbeaten matches. Despite their recent triumph in the league, Leverkusen couldn’t keep up with Atalanta’s strong performance in the crucial match.
Coach Xabi Alonso’s hopes for a double were shattered as his team delivered their weakest performance of the season, especially in the first half with numerous errors and lost duels. Atalanta took advantage of Leverkusen’s errors, scoring two goals in the first half. The German team improved in the second half but failed to mount a successful comeback, conceding a third goal from Lookman.
Despite Leverkusen’s disappointment, they still have a chance to redeem themselves in the upcoming cup final against Lautern. The defeat against Bergamo is a setback for the team and German football in general, but they have the opportunity to bounce back and end their season on a high note.
