African Star Makes History As Atalanta Clinch UEL Title

DUBLIN, IRELAND - MAY 22: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates after he scores his teams opening goal during the UEFA Europa League 2023/24 final match between Atalanta BC and Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Dublin Arena on May 22, 2024 in Dublin, Ireland.

The Serie A outfit got the opening goal after 12 minutes when Ademola Lookman caught the Leverkusen napping and turned home Davide Zappacosta's cross at the far post. The German champions did manage to carve out a rare chance five minutes before the interval when Grimaldo slipped through on goal down the left side of the box, however the full-back was denied by goalkeeper Juan Musso.

Leverkusen dominated possession in the second period but they were finding it tough to break down Atalanta, who were happy to sit back and pounce on the counter.
