Atalanta won the match 3–0 for their first European trophy and their first trophy in 61 years courtesy of a hat-trick by Ademola Lookman. In doing so, he became the first hat-trick scorer in a Europa League final, the first in a major European final since Jupp Heynckes in the 1975 UEFA Cup final second leg and the first in a single-match major European final since Pierino Prati in the 1969 European Cup final. Atalanta also became the 30th different club to win the UEFA Cup/Europa League, the first Italian club since Parma in (/wiki/1999UEFACupfinal) to win the trophy and the first Italian side to win the competition since its rebranding before the 2009–10 season. Leverkusen, who had been unbeaten in 51 matches across all competitions in the season, became the first German side to lose a UEFA Cup/Europa League final since Werder Bremen in (/wiki/2009UEFACupfinal).
