Leverkusen refused to lose for the first time this season after successfully holding host Dortmund to a draw in last night's match and however I am still very impressed with the winning mentality that Xabi Alonso's men have. Even though all the time Leverkusen had difficulty scoring goals and even had to concede a goal first after Fullkrug scored in the 81st minute and put Dortmund one step closer to winning the match.

However, what happened got even worse, where Boniface received a red card and with only a few minutes remaining Leverkusen had to be forced to play with 10 men. From then on, I thought it was over for Leverkusen to maintain their unbeaten record and everything had to stop against Dortmund. But what we see is still about the magic and feeling of never giving up from Leverkusen and a goal from Stanistic in the minute of injury time saved Leverksen from defeat. Highest appreciation for the Leverkusen players who never take the results for granted.

Yes, I have seen many times how a club that won the title ahead of schedule lost motivation and their results worsened, but this is definitely not the case with Bayer. Previously, I was skeptical about the idea that Bayer could go through the entire season in the Bundesliga without a single defeat, but now, given the fact that there are only 4 games left and the most difficult one is the home game with Stuttgart, I began to believe in it.

I also thought like that but it seems we were wrong about Leverkusen and they continued to progress without ever tasting victory. But at the moment there are still a few matches left and if we talk about the next match against Stuttgart, I think Leverkusen can still overcome this. The reason is that in the first meeting at the start of the season, Leverkusen did have difficulty facing Stuttgart but they were able to stage a comeback win in the 90th minute and that was enough proof of how their mentality works.

Not only against Stuttgart, Leverkusen has repeatedly survived defeat with a last minute goal and I think that will still be the case against Stuttgart in the second round. Although there are doubts that this will be Leverkusen's first defeat this season, I still believe they are capable of continuing their unbeaten record.
