In the final match of the Europa League, Atalanta defeated Bayer Leverkusen and thus won only the second trophy in its history.

Germany's sporting director Rudi Feller has expressed his support for Bayer Leverkusen after the 0-3 defeat in the Europa League final against Atalanta.
"This result doesn't change the fact that Bayer made a great history and impressed Germany and the whole of Europe. The players, coaches and team have made the country proud, and Bayer have won an incredible amount of sympathy and fans with their inspiring football, humble attitude and special spirit.
Simon Rolfes, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Carro have worked well together to form a team that plays perfectly together. A team that has almost forgotten how to lose," Feller was quoted as saying by Bulinews.

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka commented on the team's 0-3 defeat in the Europa League final against Atalanta, which broke Leverkusen's 51-game unbeaten run.
"To be honest, we are not interested in the record of unbeaten matches. We didn't care about it from the very beginning. It's about the game, and unfortunately we lost the final today. This is football. We said yesterday that it would be a tough game. Compliments to Atalanta.
It's a pity that it didn't work out in the final. We looked so good before this game, and the fact that we didn't manage to do what we usually do well in the final is part of the game. We have to accept it," Bulinews quoted Djaka as saying.
