Bayer Leverkusen Unbeaten Season at Risk Trailing Atalanta 2-0 at Halftime in Europa League Final

Bayer Leverkusen's stunning unbeaten season is in serious danger trailing 2-0 to Atalanta at halftime in the Europa League final on Wednesday. Ademola Lookman scored twice in the first 26 minutes and Leverkusen struggled against the Italians' tight-marking press. It is the fourth time that German champion Leverkusen has trailed 2-0 in a Europa League knockout round game since March but its unbeaten run — now at a European record 51 games — has never seemed more at risk against an excellent Atalanta team.
