Xabi Alonso's side have been in splendid form this season, wrapping up an unbeaten Bundesliga season and sitting just two games—this Final and the German Cup Final versus second-tier Kaiserslautern—away from a perfect treble-winning, unbeaten season across all competitions.
Atalanta, meanwhile, will be playing their first-ever Europa League Final and will look to go one better in what would be their biggest triumph since the 1962–63 Coppa Italia.

Atalanta team news
Emil Holm misses out with a calf injury here, while experienced skipper Marten De Roon will sit out with a thigh strain picked up in the Coppa Italia final.
Club captain Rafael Toloi and fellow defender Sead Kolasinac are both questionable too, so Giorgio Scalvini is likely to partner Isak Hien and Berat Djimsiti in La Dea's back three.

Bayer Leverkusen team news
Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso has been blessed with a clean bill of health and has the luxury to pick from a full-strength squad for the final, and there is plenty of competition for places.
Defender Piero Hincapie and midfield cog Granit Xhaka are set to return on Wednesday, but it's unclear if Victor Boniface or Patrick Schick will start up front.
Star man Florian Wirtz, who has been dealing with a thigh issue through the last few weeks but made a cameo from the bench against Augsburg, is set to start from the outset here, having recorded 18 goals and 19 assists in all competitions.
Bayer Leverkusen possible XI: Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Stanisic, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Hofmann, Adli; Schick
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Kovar, Hradecky, Lomb |
| Defenders: | Tapsoba, Hincapie, Kossounou, Tah, Stanisic, Monamay, Grimaldo, Arthur, Fosu-Mensah |
| Midfielders: | Xhaka, Mbamba, Palacios, Andrich, Puerta, Frimpong, Wirtz, Hofmann, Aourir, Tella |
