Bayer Leverkusen,Gian Piero Gasperini,Reaction

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said his side’s triumph shows there is more to football than money.

Gavin Cooney reports from the Aviva Stadium XABI ALONSO ADMITTED his Bayer Leverkusen side deserved to lose the Europa League final in Dublin, having seen their unbeaten season ended in its 52nd and penultimate game by Atalanta in Dublin.

Alonso, who has led Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title and the German Cup final this weekend, admitted that his side were outfought by Atalanta tonight, having lost too many one v one duels. “It is very demanding to play Atalanta, with lot of duels. They are very physical, and we were not able to overcome this first pressure and get in good positions. When we had overloads and when we had a bit of advantage, they got back into position very quickly, and we couldn’t give last pass with a bit of space. They were very intense.”
