The Bundesliga club was hoping to keep their unbeaten season going in pursuit of a second trophy of the year, but the Italian side - who won their last six Serie A Games - triumphed 3-0.
Atalanta, who are fifth in their domestic league, has already secured a place in next year’s Champions League.
Ademola Lookman made history with his hat-trick, securing his side their first ever European trophy and ended a 61-year-wait for the Italian club to win silverware.
Speaking ahead of the match, boss Gian Piero Gasperini said: “[Bayer Leverkusen] are a team who are very worthy of the records they have achieved. The statistics speak for themselves.”
