Unbeaten Leverkusen seek second trophy in Europa League final v Atalanta in Dublin

Bayer Leverkusen had won only two major trophies in their 119-year history before this season. But on Wednesday, the newly crowned Bundesliga champions have the chance to claim a double when they face Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin in Ireland.

Their undefeated run in all competitions this term has earned them the nickname Bayer"Neverlusen" and Serie A side Atalanta will have their work cut out trying to beat a team that have not lost a European record 51 matches since August.Several sides have come close to handing Leverkusen their first defeat of the season but, with 17 goals scored in or after the 90th minute, they do not give up until the final whistle.

Atalanta play an enjoyable attacking style of football with high intensity and managers such as Pep Guardiola and Maurizio Sarri have likened facing Gasperini's teams to"going to the dentist".
