1 nil Atalanta

[Vesper 28,773]

their pressing is fucking up Leverkusen

[Vesper 28,773]

Alonso not starting Andrich was a mistake, Palacios has been poor and was responsible for that goal

Atalanta getting the first goal is great for the game

Alonso is like a jr Pep, doing strange starting 11 calls in a final

[Vesper 28,773]

Atalanta are taking Leverkusien wingbacks out of the game

I agree what a weird choice. Andrich and xhaka such a great shield for the defence. Palacios not on the same level. Esp now it has backfired cos subbing on andrich wont be of much use when hunting the Equalizer. Still I expect them to find it

and no CF and then using their backup keeper

strange choices

What a goal from look man. I was just about to say what a tactical masterclass this has been from Atalanta so far.

lookman super sharp again. Just moving too quickly for everyone else

unbeaten streak in REAL danger

Gasperini schooling Alonso tactically

Lookman delivering yet again. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, he will be coming back to the EPL this summer.

Leaving Schick and Boniface on the bench was a massive plus for Atalanta. They've comeback in the past, but I feel like this might be game over.

yep, Alonso pulled a Pep

never play tinkerman tunes in a final

Alonso HAS to bring on a proper CF or they are going to get wiped

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Leverkusen have benefited from superior fitness when scoring in the final minutes. I don’t expect Atalanta to cave in physically like westham did. No team has ever approached Leverkusen like Atalanta does, chocking their build up through the middle 

[Vesper 28,773]

they cannot handel that press, they look horrid

Where is this coming from?

I remember 6-7 years ago Lookman played against Manchester City, it was maybe his first PL-game ever(or among first ones) for Everton, and he was wonderful, Everton won 4-0. Then it didn't really work out for him at Leipzig and wherever he was, but good to see him thriving.

crazy GKing by Musso but he got away with it
