Lookman vs. Boniface and Tella, Europa Final Showdown

Lookman vs. Boniface and Tella, Europa Final Showdown

Bayer Leverkusen already making history, will take on Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday before facing Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday.

Their opponent in the UEL, Atalanta, recently lost the Coppa Italia final 1-0 to Juventus, but now have another chance to end a 61-year trophy drought.

 

 

 

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will aim to end Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak despite the absence of key midfielder Marten De Roon, who sustained a hamstring injury during the Italian Cup final.

In the 2001-02 season, Bayer Leverkusen came close to winning a treble, but their hopes were crumbled as they finished runners-up in the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal within 11 days.

Now, Xabi Alonso has already secured the Bundesliga title and he still has two more trophies within reach.

Super Eagles forward Boniface has been outstanding for Bayer Leverkusen in his debut season, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists in 33 games, despite missing three months due to injury.

Ademola Lookman has netted 12 goals and provided 8 assists for Atalanta this season.

On May 22, Nigerians will find themselves in a dilemma as they decide which compatriot to support in this highly anticipated match.
