Atalanta achieved a historic feat by winning the 2023/24 Europa League, their first European trophy in the club's history and the second in 61 years, following the 1962/63 Coppa Italia. The Bergamo team achieved a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the final in Dublin, largely due to the unbridled talent of Lookman. Lookman scored two goals in the first half (12' and 26') and then sealed the victory with a goal that was worthy of a legendary hat-trick (76'). The German reaction in each half was fierce but ineffective, and the Nerazzurri's outstanding defensive phase added to their well-deserved victory. Xabi Alonso suffered his first defeat of the season in 51 games, while Gian Piero Gasperini won his first professional title, capping an incredible eight years at the leadership of La Dea.
