Still very close to losing its first match of the season this Thursday evening during its Europa League semi-final return against Roma, because of a double from Paredes on penalties (43rd, 66th), Bayer Leverkusen was once again managed to reverse the trend in an ever crazier scenario.
After winning 2-0 in the first leg, the German club was caught in the aggregate score… until the last 10 minutes of play. Thanks to an own goal from Mancini (82nd), the club by Xavi Alonso once again ensured qualification for the final. And while Bayer was heading towards a first defeat of the season, Stanisic equalized once again at the end of added time (97th), as is often the case for Leverkusen at the end of the season, to allow his team to remain undefeated.
German champion, qualified for the final of the German Cup, Leverkusen will also play the C3 final against Atalanta Bergamo, defeater of OM this Thursday evening, May 22 in Dublin. Until then, Xavi Alonso’s gang will try to maintain their invincibility in an attempt to become the first club in the five major European championships to finish a season without any defeat.
