THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lookman’s double strike in the early stages of the game could prove detrimental to Bayer Leverkusen’s dream of winning the treble unbeaten this season. The German side won the Bundesliga title without losing a single game and are now competing in the Europa League final before facing FCK in the DFB Pokal final.
WHAT NEXT FOR BAYER LEVERKUSEN?
Xabi Alonso’s side, who have made a habit of staging late comebacks in the current season, will aim to turn things around once again to win their second European title.
