Poor outing in UEL final Wirtz generated one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Atalanta. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th... Impact Wirtz was expected to operate as the engine that kept Leverkusen going, a role he's had all season long, but he couldn't carry his team to victory in the biggest game of the campaign. He looked lost and was unable to create any separation against an Atalanta defense that kept him in check all game long. Wirtz will try to bounce back in the DFB Pokal final before preparing for the Euros, and he ends his Europa League campaign with four goals and four assists across 11 appearances (eight starts).
