Famous Ukrainian TV commentator Igor Tsyganik told what he expects from the final match of the Europa League, in which Italian Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen will meet today in Dublin.
"Of course, all the experts and observers say that this Bayer are deservedly absolute favourites for the final. I also want the German team to finish this season without a defeat in the season.
We can remember the performances of that legendary Bayer, who had very bad luck in the semifinal stages of the Champions League, the defeat to Real Madrid in the 2002 Champions League final with Zidane's beautiful goal. The team is now making new history, setting records that few will be able to repeat or surpass.
But sometimes there is such a story when the last step is the hardest to make, to end the season perfectly. That's why I think that the main time of this match will end with an effective draw.
"Atalanta can surprise, can gather for the final, so I'll try to hazard a guess that the Italians will manage to beat Bayer in the penalty shootout," said Cyganik.
