Leverkusen were absolutely crazy, they made their supporters hearts almost fall out. Final score 3-2, the match went like in the first leg, they fell behind first. The Qarabag player red card helped Leverkusen in the final minute. The final aggregate was 4-3, Alonso squad really didn't want to be defeated, the match was very dramatic, and finally they qualified for the quarter finals.
Well, Leverkusen was able to recover and progress to the next stage quite dramatically. But I also saw another team that managed to surprise me in this second leg. Namely West Ham. they lost in the first leg. But then look at West Ham avenging their defeat in the first leg by winning big in the second leg by scoring 5 goals into the opponent's goal without giving the opponent a chance to score even 1 goal against them in the second leg. I really appreciated West Ham there.
And regarding my favorite club in the European League, I initially hoped that Leverkusen could compete with Liverpool. But after seeing Leverkusen struggle in the last 16, I will now only favor Liverpool. Liverpool managed to amaze me.
