Juan Musso won the 2023/2024 Europa League with Atalanta after their 3-0 victory vs. Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin, Ireland.

The Argentine became the first goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a Europa League final since Jan Oblak in 2018. Talking with ESPN, Musso said the following about his teammate, who scored the three goals, Ademola Lookman:

“I told Lookman that if he scored a goal, we would win because we would have a clean sheet. Then he scored three, he exaggerated.”

The former Racing Club goalkeeper started 12 of the 13 matches with Atalanta in this Europa League, and he only conceded eight goals.

Exequiel Palacios started the final for Bayer Leverkusen and was substituted in the 68th minute.

The Europa League final is in a few hours and it’s Juan Musso and José Palomino’s Atalanta against Exequiel Palacios and Bayer Leverkusen.

At least one Argentine player will be lifting the Europa League trophy for another consecutive year. Juan Musso and José Palomino will try to win their first trophy with the club and Atalanta’s first European trophy.

Exequiel Palacios has already made history with Bayer Leverkusen. The club has gone undefeated the entire season and will look for a perfect ending, lifting their second European Cup, their first being in 1987-1988 when the tournament was still called the UEFA Cup.

Juan Musso has started every Europa League match for Atalanta, except for one, their last group stage match while José Palomino has not been a regular in the team. Exequiel Palacios has played in eight of Leverkusen’s 12 Europa League matches.

Palacios is part of the preliminary Argentina national team for the Copa America.
