Reacting to Bayer Leverkusen's 3-0 Europa League final defeat to Atalanta

Bayer Leverkusen suffered a comprehensive 3-0 defeat against Atalanta in the Europa League final. The loss ended Leverkusen's 51-game unbeaten streak and highlighted some tactical and selection mistakes made by coach Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen played with a lineup that didn't reflect their strengths and failed to dominate the game as they usually do. The team lacked presence in the final third and struggled to create chances. Atalanta, on the other hand, played brilliantly and capitalized on Leverkusen's weaknesses. This defeat serves as a learning experience for Leverkusen and Alonso as they look to bounce back in the German Cup final.
