Atalanta is set to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, scheduled to take place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin tonight.
Leverkusen aims to maintain their remarkable unbeaten streak as they pursue their second trophy of the year, having convincingly secured the Bundesliga title. Managed by Xabi Alonso, the team has only two matches left in the season, including this final. They are on the verge of completing an entire campaign without a single defeat, with the German Cup final also on their agenda, potentially positioning them for a remarkable treble.
On the other hand, Atalanta enters the final in good form, having remained undefeated in their last four matches since a narrow 1-0 loss to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. They have clinched victory in their last six Serie A fixtures and comfortably advanced past Marseille with a 4-1 aggregate win in the Europa League semi-finals. Italy's strong representation in this season's European competitions has already secured Atalanta, currently fifth in their domestic league, a spot in next year's Champions League, alleviating any additional pressure for a victory tonight.
