Ademola Lookman Shines as Atalanta Clinch Historic Europa League Triumph

At the AVIVA Stadium in Dublin, Atalanta dominated Bayer Leverkusen in the 2024 Europa League final, securing their first-ever European trophy while ending Leverkusen’s unbeaten season.

Ademola Lookman’s stellar performance, highlighted by a stunning hat-trick, showcased his resurgence since joining Atalanta in 2022.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s tactical prowess suffocated Leverkusen, despite their impressive season prior. Atalanta’s triumph marks their remarkable ascent under Gasperini’s leadership, transitioning from a Serie B club in 2011 to securing a spot in the Champions League for next season.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen still have a chance to clinch a domestic double in the DFB Pokal final against Cologne.
