Bayer Leverkusen will look to take another step towards sporting immortality when they take on Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League final.
Xabi Alonso’s Bundesliga champions completed their undefeated league season with a 2-1 win over Augsburg at the weekend and they have not been beaten in any of their 51-games this term.
The DFB-Pokal final against Kaiserslautern of the 2.Bundesliga is still to come this weekend. It is safe to say Serie A outfit Atalanta remain their most significant test.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side brushed aside Marseille to reach the final having stunned Liverpool in the quarterfinals.
