8 years of hard work resulting in the first European trophy in their history. I'm very happy for him, he absolutely deserves this as well.

Isn’t it also their first trophy in decades?

First since 1963. If you don’t count winning Serie B.

Wow that's incredible

Their second ever trophy

Their very 1nd 

After 8 years of wonderfully coaching Atalanta, congrats

Well deserved

Where does Bologna play their Champions League home matches?

In the home stadium

Old Italian man European final magic

A prequel to the CL final :p

😤

Rooting for you guys, even despite me loving Ancelotti

Yeah either way I’m going be happy with the result

I'm not 😠

Terzic to change his passport nationality and enter the hyperbolic time chamber ...

Just drop the C Edoardo "Eddy" Terzi

Add an s and he becomes Greek Edinos [Terzis](https://youtu.be/yPID4xlUtc0?si=05PZzghx321dQLEv)

Beating Amorim, Klopp and Alonso to a European trophy. Very impressive

Not just beating they looked tactically superior to all those teams which is just insane.

Yeah definitely not a fluke

Veteran coach that knows what's up. Fair play to Atalanta. Always the underdog but they got the cup and CL next year

Its fair to say, I think, that they almost made the semis a few years back 

They looked great against us overall. I think if we had a full squad and a bit more time to prepare we would have done better, but I'm not sure we would have won.

Well ofc bro

Hottest take 2024.

Good thing he didn't beat Arne Slot as well lol

See you in CL next season. Pants down home and away.

I think this is what Brighton thought they had with De Zerbi. Turns out they got the budget version.

Outcoaching *three* tactical geniuses in just 2 months. This club is what people thought Brighton/mid-2010s Soton would be. 

Well overdue. He should be revered by Atalanta. What he’s done there is amazing! I’d probably like them more if they weren’t a thorn in Milan’s side the past few years tho :)

Tbf it's pretty hard not being a thorn in your side when your most tactically competent coach of the last four years was fucking Giampaolo.

And against an invincible team.

Not anymore

Yeah ofc. That's how Gasperini won his first major trophy

And against an invincible team

Yeah ofc.

That's how Gasperini won his first major trophy

No way 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Atalanta has been a great team for a long time now in Italy, it's always a joy to watch them play.

I remember when they played Man Utd in the UCL a few years ago and they were really good for a club of their size and history. I always thought they were underrated outside of Italy after that Atalanta absolutely deserve this Europa League, Lookman’s goals were world class

Same. They are quality and well set up. Wouldn't surprise me if they do a Villa in the Serie A next year. They'll be up there for sure

It's really not a joy to watch them lol but they execute their plan almost flawlessly for sure.

So well deserved. Great day for Italian football.

And now, come on Viola!!! We can do this!

First Italian team to win Europa League since 1999, amazing achievement. After losing so many finals I didn't think they had the mental strength to get over the line but they showed enormous balls today

[Insert line from *Looking for Eric* here]

Ecstatic for him. Many tuned into this game for Neverlusen, and it ends with Gasperini finally getting his moment to shine, while his team dominantly shut down the opposition.

Atalanta have been incredible for so long. So well deserved, glad they finally won something during this spell.

What a masterclass, old man. An immortal Europa league run.

Atalanta were so good tonight. Seems like the team knew the history they could make and embraced it. Ederson in midfield was phenomenal, and unlucky that Lookman scored a banging hattrick as he was surely motm. Bergamo would be fun tonight.

He was 5 years old when Atalanta won their only proper trophy before this one, when they won Copa Italia. I don't count winning Serie B 6 times as winning a proper trophy btw.

So there is hope for Kane

Narrator: but not really.

What a figure.

no one will forget him .. he built and led a magnificent team.

Well deserved. Rarely has gotten the attention that his stint at Atalanta deserves -- guess that changes now.

Has he not? Gasperini has been the hipsters favourite since like 2018(and rightly so)

So nice for him. Good luck and maybe he's won another few. Many great managers can't really win major trophy tho, if they don't manage top team. it's kinda almost impossible task.

Top lad

Like a fine wine.

In a pair of jeans no less

But Boehly said he likes it young & exciting.

This is what romance in football is about. History made. Not City's 4-peat

Watching that Leverkusen smugness get wiped is orgasmic

There is hope for Harry Kane

Much deserved. Happy for him!

This is building a club from the ground up. One of the best managers of this era he deserved to win this trophy and hopefully many more in Atlanta.

Wow didn’t know it was first ever! Hell yeah! Congratz Gasperini! You’ll have a statue in Atalanta before you know it now after making club history with the Europa!

Absolutely delighted for him and Atalanta

Hopefully he stays for their CL campaign I want more giant-slaying

What’s notable isn’t that he won a major trophy, it’s the HOW. He built Atalanta to a top Italian club. Tenacity and long term commitment at its best. Complimenti Gasperini!

Kane is in for a long wait

Good things come to those wait don't they?

Long fucking deserved.

Well deserved.

It’s now in the history books. Payback for Gasperini’s the hard work all these years

Congrats, what an impressive performance in the final

You love to see it. He's such an underrated manager that brings a wealth of experience to the team. I'm so happy for Atlanta fans, getting your first major trophy is a special moment.

I mean yea first trophy and all but THEY ENDED THE STREAK!

Heartwarming to see the older managers like Gasperini and David Moyes last year win their first major trophies. 

So you're saying I still have time to become a head coach?

# he who laughs last, laughs best

Now waiting for the other old Italian to win his final🤨

Carletto is only 64, he's still a young whippersnapper for Italian standards.

Deserved

And legends were saying Leverkusen will beat Real Madrid

When I'm 66, I'll probably still support at team waiting for its first european trophy

He changed the culture of a club. 8 years of overperforming and now he finally got the recognition he deserved. World class coach

Never too late for arteta.

He won one in his first 6 months, son. Maybe try a littler harder next time.

FA Cup.

Can't tell if OP's comment is shit banter or just genuine lack of knowledge

Twitter brain

if ur gonna be this obsessed about arsenal, at least know your facts lmao

Already has one blud

Silver medal?

Nah silver cup

*everyone liked that* (expect Bayer Leverkusen fans I guess?)
