Atalanta are Europa League champions. The Italian side defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0, thanks to a magnificent hat-trick from Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman.

This victory not only sees Atalanta lift their first-ever European trophy, but it also marks a historic night for Ademola Lookman himself. He becomes the first player ever to score a hat-trick in a Europa League final, single-handedly derailing Xabi Alonso's dream of an unbeaten treble with Leverkusen.

So shocking how the Bundesligia champion failed to finish the season with the Europa cup.
Would have been the icing on the cake.
Alonso's boys gave it to Lookman who single handedly won Atalanta the cup.

Wow

Congratulations to him for writing His name in football history as first Nigerian to score three goals in a final of UEFA organized competition.

It's indeed a Historical outing for him.

Atalanta & Ademola Lookman massacred Bayer Leverkusen..... .
I knew Atalanta were capable, I study their tactics.
They love to play a team like this that open up well and attack e g Liverpool, Leverkusen, Marseille.
They will give you the possession but remain compact only for them to give you a reactive and decisive football.
You may have all the possession but that shot on goal and other important decisive moments matter to them a lot.
I just dey laugh 😄😃 when average poll from several polls give them just over 25% chance of winning.
Una don see now, dey don silent una...not just 1 but 3 goals that's tactical master class.
With our "home boy" Ademola Lookman setting a record as the first player to score a hat-trick (3 goals) in a Europa League final, that's so much joy for me and others like me.
