Europa League Final Liveblog: Atalanta vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Europa League Final, where Atalanta try to win their first UEFA trophy against record-breaking unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen.

It kicks off in Dublin at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

If the tie is level after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time and even penalties.

Oaktree takes control of Inter: What happens now?
Oaktree's official statement confirms that current directors, including Beppe Marotta and Alessandro Antonello, will retain their roles and will be running the club during the transition.

It also suggests that Oaktree are not immediately looking for buyers, as the fund said it is "dedicated to achieving the best outcome for long-term prosperity."

A new board of directors, including a new president, will be appointed in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen whether Inter legend Javier Zanetti will be appointed for the role, as suggested in a report from Tuttosport.

Juventus sack Allegri: Live updates and reactions

Juventus could sack coach Allegri today or tomorrow, and according to Gazzetta and all the other major sources in Italy, the Italian tactician could even be fired for just cause.

According to most Italian media, the club lawyers are evaluating the possible scenarios, but Allegri's sacking today or tomorrow remains the most likely scenario.

Allegri lost his cool on Wednesday night, raging at referees, club directors and even Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago.

Gazzetta says Juventus directors and owner John Elkann are irritated by Allegri's attitude at the Stadio Olimpico, so they could decide to terminate his contract two games before the end of the season.

According to the pink paper U19 coach Montero, a former Juventus defender, has already been informed that he could lead the team in the final two games of the season against Bologna and Monza.

At the same time, Juventus have already identified Thiago Motta as their new coach for 2024-25.

Only Il Corriere dello Sport claims Juventus will pardon Allegri and let him finish the season, but it is understood that Juventus has not yet made a final decision.

In the meantime, Allegri and his staff members have arrived at Continassa and are expected to lead the training session at 11:30 local time this morning.
