Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen – LIVE!
Bayer Leverkusen are within touching distance of a truly remarkable achievement as they take on Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin tonight. Xabi Alonso’s side have not been beaten in any competition this season, their unbeaten run now stretching 51 matches, and victory tonight and then in the German Cup final this weekend will complete an ‘Invincible Treble’.
Leverkusen, who cruised to the Bundesliga title, were close to falling to defeats to West Ham and then Roma in the knockout stages of this competition, but trademark late goals preserved the unbeaten run and they are now favourites to lift just their second ever European trophy.
Atalanta beat Liverpool in the quarter-finals and then saw off Marseille in the last-four to reach the final, to keep their bid for a first major trophy since 1963 alive. The Italian side finished the Serie A season on a run of five straight wins, and were beaten finalists in the Coppa Italia earlier this month. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog!

HT: Atalanta 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
There is the half-time whistle.
Atalanta have been superb, working so hard off the ball and ruthless when their chances have come.
Leverkusen haven’t got going, sloppy on the ball and looking rattled.
But… they are perfectly capable of coming from behind.

43 mins: Atalanta look so dangerous when they win it back.
De Ketelaere has Zappacosta on the overlap, cuts inside instead and tries to reverse the shot into the near post. Well saved.

Atalanta 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
41 mins: It continues to be Frimpong as the further man for Leverkusen. And most central.
He does well to keep hold of the ball, looks up and there’s nobody in the box. Leverkusen have been miles off it so far.

38 mins: Frimpong finds himself as the centre forward, tries to take on Kolasinac but the door is slammed shut. Ball knocked behind for a corner.
Grimaldo with a poor ball in, Atalanta deal with that easily.

35 mins: Huge chance for Leverkusen!
Grimaldo is in on goal, Musso for some reason has come miles off his line. Leverkusen man tries to lob him, but he cushions it straight into the goalkeeper’s arms.
Scamacca then flies in late on Adli – Wirtz earns himself a yellow for his complaints.
31 MINUTES AGO
Atalanta 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
32 mins: Leverkusen can’t get out. Not really playing with a striker tonight and it’s giving them no out ball.
Frimpong high up on that right wing, but he’s not going to hold it up. Alonso surely has to change something.

Atalanta 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
29 mins: Adli wants a penalty, did he get a toe to the ball before Kolasinac tried to clear?
No. Never getting a penalty for that.
A few Atalanta players decide to wage their fingers in Adli’s face, just in case he wondered what they thought.
