Bayer Leverkusen's historic 51-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end on Wednesday night as Atalanta's Ademola Lookman produced a stunning hat-trick to secure a 3-2 victory in the UEFA Europa League final.

Stunning Night for Atalanta

The Italian side put on a dazzling display at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Lookman opened the scoring with a brilliant solo effort in the 23rd minute, before doubling Atalanta's lead just before halftime.

Leverkusen pulled one back through Patrik Schick in the 59th minute, but Lookman completed his hat-trick 15 minutes later, securing Atalanta their first major European trophy.

Lookman's Masterclass

Lookman, on loan from RB Leipzig, was the undisputed star of the show. His pace, dribbling skills, and clinical finishing were too much for Leverkusen to handle.

The Nigerian winger's hat-trick not only sealed Atalanta's triumph but also ended Leverkusen's remarkable unbeaten streak that stretched back to April 2022.

For Leverkusen, the defeat was a bitter disappointment after their incredible run. They came close to completing an entire season unbeaten, but their dream was shattered by Atalanta's brilliance.

Despite the setback, Leverkusen can take pride in their remarkable achievement. Their unbeaten streak is a testament to their consistency and resilience.

As the dust settles on the Europa League final, Atalanta savor their triumph and Lookman's heroics. Leverkusen, meanwhile, will look to regroup and build on their impressive season in the years to come.
