In the early morning of May 23, Beijing time, the Europa League final of this season officially kicked off, with 50000 people watching from Atlanta against Leverkusen. In the first half, Atlanta relied on Lukeman's two goals to gain a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Leverkusen's crazy counter attack was still unable to break the goal, and Atlanta broke the goal again, eventually losing 0-3. The 51 unbeaten games in various competitions also ended miserably.

Last season, Xavi Alonso led Leverkusen to be eliminated by Rome and missed the Europa League final. One year later, he was proud to complete his revenge and returned to the European final after 22 years, hoping to win the championship again.
Now, Leverkusen is only one victory away from winning the championship. Its opponent Atlanta is a strong team that has risen in recent years in Serie A. This season, it has performed well in Europe. In particular, the defeat of Liverpool in the top eight competition has greatly improved the confidence of the team in winning the championship. Now we have our first European final trip, and we have a chance to win the first championship.

It was originally a close match, but due to Lewakusen's mistakes, the game gradually lost its one-sided posture, and Atlanta's state was obviously in the upper hand.

In just 16 minutes, Leverkusen lost the ball continuously due to mistakes, and there were few offensive threats created. Attackers such as Adrian, Wiltz, Zaka, Frimpong, and Grimaldo were almost sleepwalking, and Grimaldo directly sent a single shot to the opposite goalkeeper.

In the second half, Leverkusen tried to change people to adjust and reverse the situation of backwardness. Due to his poor condition, he failed to succeed and was scored again by Atlanta, which ended the game in advance. Lukman scored a hat trick and became the first player to wear a hat in the final after the Europa League reform.

In the face of Leverkusen's poor defensive performance, coach Xabi Alonso looked desperate as if he were too disappointed.
In the end, Leverkusen did not create a miracle of turning the tables. While he was not eligible for the Europa League championship, the 51 unbeaten matches in the beginning of this season were officially ended, and he was not eligible for the miracle of winning the championship without losing three trophies in advance.

This is the first time that Atlanta has won the Europa League and the first European championship in the history of the team. It has created a historical record. At the same time, it has become another Italian team that has won the Europa League after Parma in 1999.
