Topic: 2024 Europa League Final | Atalanta v Leverkusen | Wed 22nd May, an 8pm kick off

[Crosby Nick]

Why’s Paddy McGuiness bringing the trophy out?

No likey?

[seandundee16]

Great performance by Atalanta and I had a feeling after watching them against us that they might go on and win the competition. It’s a rarity to see a team press so incessantly for 90 minutes without any drop in intensity. Their energy levels were insane. Leverkusen had a great run n but they rode their luck in a lot of games during the last few months as well.

The ‘beating us to lose a league we’d already lost’ and a ‘team that beat us winning a pot’ double.
What a season for the blues.

‘A player we had for a season scored a hattrick in a big game’ trophy is going straight into that cabinet

[Tonyh8su]

The ‘beating us to lose a league we’d already lost’ and a ‘team that beat us winning a pot’ double.
What a season for the blues.

You're forgetting the "a player that once played for us won a trophy" trophy. A real treble for the Blues.

He looks like a Scouse Grand-Dar in his too young for him skinny jeans, trainees and trackie top heading into town on a mad Monday.

4/10

One of the smoke and confetti bomb thingies didn't go off. Sack John O'Shea now.

Thats what you get for allowing Jack Grealish to set them off

[danuttah]

Anyone got a clue what Joe Cole is talking about?

It's amazing to think that someone genuinely must have sat there and thought, "Joe Cole, yes, he seems to know what he's talking about".

He's actually thick.

[amir87]

No likey?

Let the Gasperini see the trophy.

[kop306]

well deserved win for atlanta

well done to lookman aswell

[KC7]

Gasperini with a coaching clinic on how to execute high pressing.

Fair play.

It's been exceptional.

So much energy and athleticism in their side. They did to us what we used to do to other teams.

Wonder if any big club comes in for him.

Was Jack Grealish working it?

[elsewhere]

We should claim half of the cup as I don't think we were worse than Atalanta in those matches

[Samie]

Nice too see you have confidence in Slot from the get go.

It's very rare for managers to last as long as Klopp did. Another 9 years? It would be unlikley.

[lgvkarlos]

Brilliant night for them,  they've absolutely run their socks off.   

[btroom]

Reality check for those who lusting over xabi even after he rejected this chance. he is far from perfect

literally lost one game all season and he's shit now?

[kesey]

I was always brought up on that it's good if the team that knocked you out goes on to win it.

[exiledintheUSA]

So, where is Gaspirini going to end up after that?

Premier League? Juve? Stay where he is?

[btroom]

literally lost one game all season and he's shit now?

Qarabag,west ham and roma. would wait till he performs against decent sides in CL to see how good he really is.

Premier League? Juve? Stay where he is?

Nursing home?

[Pistolero]

His post match interview he said “I just want to tell you all good luck. We’re all counting on you”.

😁

[TSC]

So, where is Gaspirini going to end up after that?

Premier League? Juve? Stay where he is?

Incoming bid from MU

[KC7]

A reminder that the UEFA Cup is the best looking trophy in football.

World Cup surely?

And the European Cup, although basic, looks amazing.

[exiledintheUSA]

Ademola Lookman was born, grew up, played for Everton, got booed at Goodison, left Everton played for a few other clubs and won a major trophy - all since 1997.

#1995

[whtwht]

Please bid for Lookman Mancs. Minimum 100 mil after that performance 

[Barneylfc∗]

Am I right in thinking we’ve been eliminated by the eventual winners in every one of Klopp’s European campaigns?

Edit - Ah wait, Atletico.

Lost to Real Madrid in 20/21. Chelsea won it then.

it's a masterpiece isn't it, I love that one photo of Shanks nursing it like it's one of his grandkids in 73.

[rob1966]

Yeah it's good to see them win it, unless they're a c*nt of a club

[stjohns]

Incoming bid from MU

Those finishes were exceptional, to be fair. Glad we weren’t on the end of them.

[Kopenhagen]

Leverkusen burnt out like ourselves? Why do Atalanta not tire? Did Pep give them something?

[Ray K]

So, where is Gaspirini going to end up after that?

Premier League? Juve? Stay where he is?

Gasperini had 5 games at inter and has turned down big offers from every other big Italian club since. What makes you think he's going to chuck in this job at this moment?

[bryanod]

heading off for a pint shortly before heading to game, and hopefully decent match and not just thinking should be us here....

Am sitting with Atalanta fans apparently so guess I aint neutral....

Right side evidently.

Amazed Bayer had exact same issues as we did. Can't argue didn't deserve it.

Purely because opportunity is appearing everywhere.  Kompany is going to Bayern FFS lol.

[Kalito]

Made up for Atalanta. Brilliant team performance and some fucking belting goals by Lookman.

[darragh85]

Nice to see Atalanta win it. Good team and very well coached.

[kesey]

Yeah it's good to see them win it, unless they're a c*nt of a club

Only Man United popped up in my head being honest . Iam sure there are more though. Ah bollocks. Iam just about to get my head down so here comes a night of the mechanical elves in my head getting paid overtime.

[jckliew]

WoW! Lookman! Looks good away from Everton
