Translation

Atalanta won the Europa League, the second most important European competition, beating Bayer Leverkusen in the final by 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Nigerian Lookman.

For Atalanta, this is their first international trophy in their history, and the second overall after the 1963 Italian Cup.

Bayer Leverkusen was the favorite team to win because they had an incredible season: Bayer won their first German championship without losing a single game.

However, the team of the coach Gian Piero Gasperini deservedly won, playing a perfect game from the first minute.
