Atalanta won the match 3–0 for their first European trophy and their first trophy in 61 years courtesy of a hat-trick by Ademola Lookman.[7] In doing so, he became the first hat-trick scorer in a Europa League final, the first in a major European final since Jupp Heynckes in the 1975 UEFA Cup final second leg and the first in a single-match major European final since Pierino Prati in the 1969 European Cup final.[8]
Atalanta also became the 30th club to win UEFA Cup/Europa League and first ever Italian team to take the trophy since Parma's championship in 1999.
As winners, Atalanta earned the right to play against the winners of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, as well as the winners of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana in the 2024 UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge. Since Atalanta had already qualified to enter the league phase of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League through their league performance, the access list will be rebalanced.
