Atalanta have had a relatively successful 2023/2024 campaign, securing Champions League qualification ahead of next season as well as reaching the Coppa Italia final where they fell just short against Juventus.
The Nerazzurri have one final shot at winning silverware this season but an unbeaten Xabi Alonso-led Bayer Leverkusen stand in their way and it will certainly require a mammoth effort to overcome the irrepressible Die Werkself.
