I believe Bayer Leverkusen doesn't know how to lose; their comeback against Qarabag proved that. I bet on them to come back in the second half, and it worked out. Their fighting spirit has reached another level, and I'm confident this team will qualify for the quarter-finals by winning the second leg match.
Their unbeaten run continues; it looks like they won't rest just yet.
Winning with a 90+2 goal is cool and all but you can't rely on those goals if you want to keep your unbeaten run. I wouldn't be surprised if the narrative changed to "Leverkusen failed to continue their winning run due to overconfidence" if they lost last night. On the other hand, they deserve the point considering how dominant they were in that match. I also want them to go through since it will give a more interesting lineup, but who knows if Qarabag will surprise us again.
Liverpool offensive game did not give them the opportunity to develop their game. Now Liverpool have stepped one foot into the quarter-finals of the Europa League after closing the match with that lead, they only have to wait another 90 minutes in the second leg which will be played at Anfield to secure a ticket to the quarter-finals.
I believe they have many chances to score, but Kelleher made a lot of saves to deny them. So yeah, I think they got a bit unlucky while at the same time having worse end products. If they have better finishing and a bit of luck, I'm pretty sure they can score two goals or so. Fair play to Kelleher though, he stepped up a lot while Alisson is not playing, which helped his confidence and improve his reflex in real matches.
