It’s Lookman’s Atalanta versus Boniface’s Leverkusen Europa Final!

Ademola Lookman scored the opening goal and contributed an assist as Atalanta defeated Marseille 3-0 in the second leg of the Europa League semi final last night.

The aggregate 4-1 victory pushed the Italian Serie A side into the final of the European second tier competition against unbeaten Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen who triumphed aggregate 4-2 over another Italian side Roma. The second leg of the semi final ended 2-2 last night in Germany but was of no value as Leverkusen got the job done with the first leg 2-0 advantage in Rome.

Super Eagles forward who score in the first leg was an unused substitute last night.

Leverkusen created yet more history in a remarkable campaign ad the Xabi Alonso wards have now gone 49 games this season unbeaten!

They won 41 of their matches across all competitions while drawing just eight. They have now surpassed the previous record held by Eusebio’s Benfica between December 1963 and February 1965.

Arsenal went 49 league matches unbeaten from May 2003 to October 2004, however, that streak included a number of defeats in other competitions.

Leverkusen are on the brink of an incredible treble with the Bundesliga already in the bag and a German Cup final against Kaiserslautern and now the Europa League final against Atalanta.
