I heard some talks going on like Leverkusen unbeaten run will finally come to an end, Leverkusen are not good with European competitions and so many more but after seeing a Qarabag player receive a red card i just knew that there is still a whole lot of game and drama to witness. I just had so much believe in Leverkusen to turn things around but at 90th minute i didn’t expect them to win though i was only expecting a draw and probably win at extra time or penalty shootout. It would be unfair if they lose their unbeaten record to Qarabag and also exit the competition at such early stage.
I admire their mentality of never giving up until it’s over, it was a crazy performance from them and i think they deserved to win. It shows how ready they are to winning a trophy this season, I don’t think they will lose the Bundesliga to Bayern Munich with such mentality.
What a match. True, at first I thought this would be their first defeat, but after the Qarabag player received a red card, Bayer Leverkusen was able to dramatically progress to the last eight and made Leverkusen still unbeaten this season. This is an extraordinary achievement for Xabi Alanso.
The course of Leverkusen's match was really neat, if other clubs were trailing 0-2 they would definitely play for a long time and look for chaos in front of the goal, but that wasn't the case with Leverkusen, they continued to build attacks until finally Leverkusen managed to comeback 3-2, and won 5-4 on aggregate. Patrick Schick was truly the hero in this match. With this victory, Leverkusen advanced to the next round with their unbeaten record continuing. Seeing the enthusiasm and mentality of the Leverkusen players makes me believe they deserve to be favorites in the European league this season.
