JAKARTA - Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said his team deserved to win the Europa League this season after beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0.

Atalanta ended Bayer Leverkusen's 51 unbeaten game thanks to Ademola Lookman's three goals.

Gasperini is proud of his team to win the European competition after defeating the other favorite teams.

"We are very proud because of the way we won, we beat Liverpool when they were still topping the Premier League, Sporting who won the Portuguese League and now Bayer Leverkusen who dominates the Bundesliga," Gasperini quoted Antara as saying.

"I have to thank my players, their performance is really extraordinary," he continued.

Meanwhile, Lookman said this success was the best moment in his life after scoring three goals that led Atalanta to a second major trophy in the club's history since lifting the Coppa Italia in 1962-1963.

"This is the best night of my life. It was a great performance presented by the team, we won, we won, we won! Not much to say, but this is really fantastic," said the best player in the Europa League final.
