It is the apotheosis for Italian football after the Atalanta victory in the Europa League. Dublin’s last act against Leverkusen ended with a clear result of 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick from an extraordinary Ademola Lookman.
Atalanta becomes the first Italian team to win the Europa League, 25 years after Parma when it was still called the UEFA Cup. The Nerazzurri clearly beat Bayer Leverkusen, on whom they inflicted their first defeat of the season after 51 games without defeat.
For Atalanta this is the first European trophy in its history. Second title in 117 years of history for the Orobic club, after the 1963 Italian Cup. First career trophy for the Nerazzurri coach Gasperini, perhaps on his farewell step, which puts the exclamation point on eight extraordinary years in Bergamo.
