THE BIGGEST OF NIGHTS IN BIG VASE?
The credit cards of those Bayer Leverkusen fans who made the schoolboy error of flocking to the Dublin city-centre tourist trap that is Temple Bar before Wednesday night’s Big Vase final weren’t the only thing associated with the travelling Germans to ship a serious spanking. After being relieved of their money by local landlords, Leverksen fans made their way to the Aviva Stadium to see their team take a similarly brutal beating, going down 3-0 to Atalanta and losing their famous 51-match unbeaten run in the process. On Big Website, Amine Adli had declared that neither he nor his Leverkusen teammates could “remember what it’s like to lose a game” and it’s difficult to know quite how the striker could have tempted fate more. Adli and co were issued a stark reminder, with one of the Championship and Premier League’s forgotten men Ademola Lookman emerging as the Italians’ unlikely hero after scoring all three goals.
