Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta meet in the UEFA Europa League final on May 22 in Dublin as Xabi Alonso pushes for another trophy this season.
Alonso has already clinched immortality in Leverkusen after leading the club to a first ever Bundesliga title win last month as he ended Bayern Munich's domestic dominance.
Ahead of the final, Bayer Leverkusen are still unbeaten across all competitions so far in 2023/24, and they remain on course for a possible treble ahead of facing FC Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final on May 25.
