Europa League Final | Atalanta vs Leverkusen | Match thread

Totally forgot this was on tonight. Looking forward to seeing Frimpong play as we seem to be linked with him a lot
 
Surprised no Boniface

Boniface was amazing in the first half of the season, then went to the AFCON, picked up an injury and has been in and out of the starting 11 through rotation since. You'd kind of expect him to be in the starting 11 but at the same time also maybe not, as he hasn't started all that much since his injury. He actually didn't play a single minute in the 2 games against Roma.
 
So what's going on at Atalanta?

Not heard about them in donkeys years, we signed diallo off them probably about 4 years ago? Then Rasmus last year. Clearly they're doing something right with their youth development and now they're in a European cup final. Seems to be a club that have made the right decisions.
Dafuq is John oahea doing there.

It's in Dublin, he ROI manager. Who did you want Ronan Keating?
 
Has Grimaldo been playing up front? TV just showed their formation and had him up there.

Also, Kovar is playing, I didn't think he was their first team keeper?
 
The fatal flaw of Atalanta is great dribblers can break them - Dani Olmo once absolutely brutalized them in CL for Dinamo Zagreb. I guess that front 3 represents Leverkusen's best dribblers? Likewise the choice of Palacios in the middle makes sense in that regard
 
Anyone know what time this Scouse party in Dublin is tonight?
 
Atalanta could cause a shock if Leverkusen don’t turn up
 
Definitely rooting for Bayer. Two United academy graduates in the squad. Although I do appreciate Atalanta for Højlund and Amad.
 
Extremely sloppy passing from Leverkusen so far.
 
Commentator a few mins ago "Wirtz, everything goes thru him" then "Xhaka, everything goes thru him". Quality stuff.
 
Thought the European finals are shown on youtube or is it just the CL final? Can't find Europa final on there.
 
Oh both managers had the same idea here. Bypass the midfield, and pace, pace, pace

Lookman! Atalata surprisingly ahead (even if they've played a bit better so far so can't say undeserved).
 
Deserved. Have been better team first 10 minutes. Control all over pitch.
