Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen will face off on Wednesday in the Europa League final.
All eyes will be on Leverkusen, which is two wins away from an undefeated season and a treble.
Xabi Alonso has already led his side to a league title, as Leverkusen became the first team to go through an entire Bundesliga season undefeated.
Should Leverkusen get past Atalanta in Dublin, it would cap off an undefeated treble with a win over Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday.

For Atalanta, a win over Leverkusen would secure only the second trophy in the club’s history outside of Serie B titles. Other than championships in the Italian second-tier, the Bergamo club’s only other trophy is the 1962–63 Coppa Italia.
Atalanta could not add to that haul last week when it fell to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will be desperate to avoid ending an outstanding season with back-to-back defeats in a final.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
