Mate how about this. I’ll delete my account if Leverkusen don’t win anything next year. Clue in Admin if you want. Set a reminder.

Different contexts to look at. Totally agree with comments on like for like teams.Sort of agree. But then Atalanta’s team on paper isn’t really better than ours at all. But I’m not sure I have faith in our coach to be as canny in these kind of games.
Big lesson for him.Tbh, it shows what an achievement it's been for Leverkusen this season under Alonso.
It's only Alonsos first full season as a pro manager. Tonight showed his inexperience.
Atalanta have won their 2nd major trophy, and their first one since their only Coppa Italia in the 1960's. Gasperini is a legend!
I suppose ultimately it sounds like they valued winning a decent trophy over a champions league spot. I hope if we have the same choice to make we take the same approach next year.Different contexts to look at. Totally agree with comments on like for like teams.
But they finished 5th in the League. Consensus from many Journalists I follow who report on Serie A is that because they are such a high pressing team they can and have faded big time in some games. Some think that they have approached the EL different to the league because of this. And that they would have finished higher if they pressed as they did vs Liverpool and now tonight
Nah, UEFA and the Europa League acknowledges the history of the old UEFA cup as part of the EL's history. So there's been plenty of Italian teams to have won it. We are also always acknowledged as the first ever winners of it whenever we are in it and it is time to do the draw.They’re also now the first Italian club to win the Europa League.

They are however the first Italian team this century to do it.
That big bastard of a trophy more or less lived in Italy in the 90s apart from some brief gap years in Germany and the Netherlands.The last Italian team to do so, that Parma team!
They do indeed.So if Atalanta finish 5th in Serie A... Do Italy have SIX teams in the CL next season??
They do indeed.
And if Fiorentina win the Conference they will have 9 teams in Europe next season I believe.

Nah, last week they lost to Juve in the Coppa Italia!!!I suppose ultimately it sounds like they valued winning a decent trophy over a champions league spot. I hope if we have the same choice to make we take the same approach next year.
Fair enough didn't think of that.5th got CL in Italy this season anyway.
They'd already qualified for CL before tonight.
The rest of European football is going to be tired of going to Italy.Damn that's crazy
Nearly half the league in Europe
Tbf 2 cup finals lose one win one they probably did it the right way round. They were absolutely outstanding tonight.Nah, last week they lost to Juve in the Coppa Italia!!!
What a team that was. Full of top players at the time.The last Italian team to do so, that Parma team!
