Europa League Final: Lookman starts, Boniface and Tella make Leverkusen bench

The lineup for the Europa League final between Italian side Atalanta and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen has been released, with just one of the three Nigerians starting.

Gian Piero Gasperini has chosen Ademola Lookman to start on the left wing for Atalanta, forming an attacking trio with Charles De Ketelaere and Gianluca Scamacca.

However, Nigerian players Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella will begin the match on the bench, as Xavi Alonso opted for Amine Adli as Bayer Leverkusen’s striker. Lookman enters the game with two goals in his previous ten Europa League appearances.
