She’s a crazy Goddess: Lookman show, Atalanta wins the Europa League

A super Atalanta beats Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 and wins the Europa League: Lookman protagonist with an extraordinary hat-trick

She’s one freaking Goddess. This time the curse of the finals does not affect Gasperini and he can start the celebration ofAtalanta. Too Lookman for the Bayer Leverkusen who chooses the worst match to interrupt the positive streak that had lasted for over fifty matches.

It is the most worthy conclusion to a fairy tale that they have been living in Bergamo for a few years now: the Neroblu raise the cup to the sky and they do so at the end of a match that had no stories. Thanks to Gasperini who managed to cage the formation of Xabi Alonso deploying three attackers and ordering an asphyxiating pressing.

Thus the Germans never managed to build game patterns worthy of the name and in the outgoing match they struggled a lot, making mistakes and granting opportunities to the Bergamo players. Lookman didn’t have to wait as he exploited every little mistake made by the German champions. The first goal arrived in the 12th minute with the Nigerian able to take advantage of Zappacosta’s low cross and Palacios’s sleep.

Bayer overwhelmed: Atalanta wins the Europa League

The Bayer struggles to regroup and Atalanta sinks the blow. At 26′ bloody ball lost by the Germans, Lookman then he invents a goal from the cinema: feint, tunnel to the opponent and a right-footed shot from outside the area that ends up in the corner. It’s 2-0 with which the first half of the game ends.

In the second half, Xabi Alonso try to shake up the team by sending them onto the pitch Boniface. Mission failed because Musso he spends moments of tranquility and in the end the hat trick also arrives. He’s still Lookman, always Lookman to send Leverkusen’s rearguard out of gear. This time it’s the Nigerian’s left foot that pierces Kovar and make the Bergamo party explode once and for all. He wins Gasperiniwins theAtalanta and it is the most beautiful fairy tale for Italian football.
