BAYER LEVERKUSEN are on course to completing an unprecedented invincible Treble – but Atalanta will be determined to stop them in what is expected to be a thrilling Europa League final.
Xabi Alonso’s men have already made history by lifting the Bundesliga title this season without losing a single match.
And the stoppage-time-winning veterans continued their form in Europe when they beat Roma to book their spot in the Europa League showpiece.
Should Leverkusen defeat Atalanta, they will be one DFB-Pokal final win away from securing three trophies while going unbeaten in the process.
However, the German champions face an Atalanta side who demolished Marseille in their semi-final to get here.
Furthermore, the Italian outfit recently lost their Coppa Italia final against Juventus so they’ll be determined to avoid taking home another runners-up medal.
Xabi Alonso has been blessed with a clean bill of health for this thrilling Europa League final.
Piero Hincapie and Granit Xhaka are set to be recalled to the starting line-up while it remains to be seen whether Alonso goes with Patrick Schick or Victor Boniface up top.
Florian Wirtz is also expected to start despite nursing a thigh injury over the last few weeks.
Elsewhere, experienced Atalanta star Marten De Roon will miss out due to suffering a thigh issue in the Coppa Italia final defeat against Juventus.
Club captain Rafael Toloi and ex-Arsenal star Sead Kolasinac are doubts but former Premier League attackers Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca could both start in Dublin.
