Bayer Leverkusen Seal Europa League Spot with Last-Gasping Comeback
Unbeaten Run Extends to 49 Games
Dramatic Late Goals Secure Victory
Bayer Leverkusen staged a thrilling late comeback to secure a 2-0 victory over Monaco and book their place in the Europa League round of 16. After a goalless first half, Jonas Hofmann broke the deadlock in the 74th minute, before Victor Boniface sealed the win in stoppage time.
The win extends Leverkusen's unbeaten run to an astonishing 49 games, a remarkable achievement in the demanding world of European football. The German side has now reached the knockout stages of the Europa League for the third consecutive season.
Ademola Lookman was the star of the show for Atalanta, scoring a sensational hat-trick as they ended a 61-year trophy drought by winning the Coppa Italia. The English winger's goals helped Atalanta defeat Juventus 2-1 in the final, securing their first major trophy since 1963.
