Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon says the Italians can spring a surprise in the Europa League final to end Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten season on Wednesday.
Leverkusen have stormed to a first ever Bundesliga title and are on course for a remarkable treble without tasting defeat in 51 games so far this season.
Atalanta have also had a memorable campaign as they have reached their first ever European final.

Also, they qualified for next season’s Champions League and narrowly lost the Coppa Italia final to Juventus last week.
“They’ve had a perfect season until now. I don’t want to say they have any shortcomings but every team is beatable,” said De Roon, who will miss the match due to injury, on Tuesday.
“They seem invincible but maybe we can change things.”
Under the tutelage of Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta have risen from a provincial club in the shadows of nearby giants AC and Inter Milan into regulars in European competition.
However, they have so far failed to end a 61-year wait to win a trophy.
“All that matters is that we want to win the game. With or without me, it doesn’t matter, what matters is lifting the trophy,” added De Roon.
“We will do everything in our power to do that.”
