Leverkusen didn't see us coming, overconfident choices by everyone including Xabi, they're still an incredible team ofc but they thought they could treat us like Roma, big mistake

@campfirefootball 7 ай бұрын

I have to agree. I knew Atalanta would have a solid chance, but I didn't expect them to neuter Leverkusen the way they did. Gasperini finally got the cup he deserved in my opinion.

Roma that made them anyway shit their pants after been up 2-0 in their home stadium, and getting back on top only after striking up an own goal.. all in all already a sign of lack of mentality in that game considering that Roma was at that moment a team that played every 3 days for the previous 3 weeks and with a short usable bench.. Other than that only people actually ignorant of Italian football could have thought about this game more than 60-40 for Leverkusen as favourite, Atalanta kicked Liverpool ass and already beated in Europa League Leverkusen in 2022 (and Roma did in 2023) the only doubt would have been if mentally they could hold up the pressure of a big game they did and the difference between the two is exactly what the score shown 3-0.

I don't know why people keep saying I didn't see this coming. Well I did see this coming they have been estatic form in the Serie A and the Europa League prior to this. When they play like this in the League or Europe they can beat any team matched up against them and they generally don't do it by 1 goal either.

@campfirefootball 7 ай бұрын

I certainly didn't see 3-0 coming. But before the match I heard so many people saying Leverkusen were heavy favorites and certain winners, which I thought was over the top. People also just forgot about Atalanta because of the run Leverkusen have been on this season. Atalanta were always going to be dangerous but the 3-0 scoreline was a surprise to me.

All creds to Atalanta for their direct, aggressive and brave way of playing. This was their night. They were the hungrier team. Watching Leverkusen this incredible season, they were not that impressive in this competition, including Quarabag, West Ham and Rome. Atalanta had the mental upper cut after Liverpool got trashed. This was their year. Leverkusen still has something to improve which is good for them. Pokal against Kaiserslautern today will not be as easy as many think either.

@campfirefootball 7 ай бұрын

It's interesting to look at their European run and that they didn't play very many good teams. Once they were in the knockout round, they were almost eliminated a few times but showed great character to advance. But their luck ran out in the final. Either way, huge achievement for them to win the domestic double. Great season for Leverkusen despite not winning all 3 titles.

Great analysis, thanks! Atalanta's pressing tactics are gutsy and of course they also have the physicality and discipline to execute it to perfection, but this should not come as a surprise. Atalanta play like this for years now. Yet Bayer showed no serious ideas on the ball and created almost nothing. It's like they weren't prepared at all for what was coming for them.

Atalanta went for the jugular since the start of the game. Their man marking system gave no time to Bayer's playmakers to even turn their heads comfortably. Wirtz had to come to his own half to get a whiff of the ball. Those Bayer errors were not a coincidence. Those were forced errors

As if the world hinged on Nigerian players alone? Look, Atalanta won not simply because Lookman alone. He got 100% of his chances BUT They’ve ALSO got the tactics tight, solid defense, hardworking cogs in the middle (Ederson constantly bullying Fritz and winning balls, Koop playing his strings to attacks line), Scamacca holding up the ball and pulling defenders so Lookman would have the space so he could score. How would you undermine that??

That's a fair point. Though it was not really my intent. Leverkusen were the team with the ball most of the match and Atalanta's attacks came almost entirely from forcing turnovers and mistakes. Atalanta did brilliantly, but Leverkusen also helped with their sloppiness in passing, the tactical decisions, and Lookman killing them every chance he got. Either way, thank you for stopping by and giving your opinion.
