ATLANTA SMASH LEVERKUSEN TO LIFT EUROPA LEAGUE TROPHY

Bayer Leverkusen were favourites to lift the Europa League title after a steller season where they lifted the Bundesliga unbeaten for a whole season. It was a shock night for them after Atlanta put 3 into their goal inflicting on them a first defeat of the season.

Atlanta Casper Gasperini has been building the squad for a long time and has impressed many in the football world with the beautiful football that his team has played over the years since he took over the reigns at the Italian outfit.

The win last night marks their first win in European football in their history. Leverkusen will be disappointed after the season they have had under Xabi Alonso.

The Burgurmore outfit will be uplifted by this win after heartbreak in the last 8 years that Gasparini has been at the helm of the outfit. He has taken taken to 3 Copa Italia finals winning none of them.

History was also made on the night as Ademola Lookman became the first player in the competitions history to win a hat trick.

It will be pure joy for Atlanta fans and a little heartbreak for Leverkusen fans who have had a season to remember winning the Bundesliga.
