Atalanta beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final in Dublin and won the 2024 Europa League. Lookman was the absolute protagonist, scoring a hat-trick. For the Bergamo players it is a historic, first success in European cups.
“The way we won it was extraordinary, beating teams like Sporting and Liverpool, when we went there they were first in the Premier League.” Thus the coach Gian Piero Gasperini. “It’s a great satisfaction after a memorable performance – added the Atalanta coach – The trident? There were all the conditions to play like this, in a single match, which we had to win. Without a shadow of a doubt it is a deserved cup, winning the Europa League is truly an achievement for us. We needed such a prestigious trophy.”
In Bergamo, thousands of people celebrated in the square. A celebration that began at the 16th minute of the first half, shortly after 9.17pm, continued ten minutes later, at the half-hour mark of the second half and exploded a few minutes before 11pm. Ten thousand fans alone between the two giant screens in the centre, at the Torre dei Caduti in Piazza Vittorio Veneto and in Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, along the road towards the train station, a few steps from Porta Nuova.
