2024 Europa League Final - Atalanta v Bayer Leverkusen | Wed 22nd May, 20:00

Atalanta playing how Inter did against us.

At that point you've left it too late to check over your shoulder. Defender has to run towards the ball and play it himself.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

How on earth did Leverkusen go through a season unbeaten?

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Very rare to see a manager (Gaspo) on the touchline wearing blue jeans.

 

[Josh_D]

Alonso is going to have to bring Schick on at this rate

 

[SebastianBlue]

Oof, that miskick from Grimaldo was brutal to watch.

 

[Josh_D]

Why is Adli trying to battle their defenders? He should be playing as a fall 9 to bring them with him.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Atalanta is completely disrupting Leverkusen’s rhythm and buildup.

Helps that there’s no focal point to hold the ball up when it gets to the top. Adli a bit too lightweight. CB’s can handle him unless Leverkusen play it quick and find him when he spins behind

How on earth did Leverkusen go through a season unbeaten?

How on earth did Atalanta knocked out the team of the century with the best manager in the PL?

Only 20 min gone mate ….

Very rare to see a manager (Gaspo) on the touchline wearing blue jeans.

Especially when you consider blue jeans originated in Genoa…

Hopefully Atalanta win, I dislike Alonso

Going to this tonight. My mate applied for tickets way way back when Liverpool were favourites to go all the way.
He won the option for 4 tickets in a draw.
I’m going with him and his two sons, all of them Liverpool supporters.

I’m practicing now, not having a smug look on my face.
It’s not easy.

Ah the famous Liverpool Rangers Final

WHAT A GOALL 2-0

I only just realised this game was tonight. Tactically an intriguing one. Two excellent managers...and what a goal that was!

I've always liked Atalanta from when they were in our CL group and rather than play 11 at the back they went for it. Their destruction of the dippers only increased that respect!

But despite not having any passion for Leverkusen, that unbeaten run is special and I kind of want to see it remain all season.

I'm convinced Alonso will be our next manager as well.

Another great finish by Lookman.
