Bayer Leverkusen escaped again with another stoppage-time goal to preserve its German record unbeaten season by drawing with Stuttgart 2-2 on Saturday.
Robert Andrich scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time for Leverkusen to stretch its record to 46 games unbeaten across all competitions.

It was the second consecutive game that Leverkusen, the Bundesliga champion, scored after the regular 90 minutes of play to keep its unbeaten streak. Josip Stanišić scored in the seventh minutes of stoppage time last weekend for a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund.

This season in Bundesliga seems to be reserved for Leverkusen and their unbeaten record. They have to work hard for it but make many comebacks at very late minutes is unbelievable. They are strong, ambitious but also are very lucky in this season too. A long unbeaten record like this can easily be broken by one bad and unlucky match but luck factor stays on side with Bayer Leverkusen in many matches.

Will their ambition to complete Bundesliga unbeaten affect their player fitness and preparation and results for Europa League semi final matches. Soon we will see because next two weeks, they will have two semi final matches with AS Roma.

Well, they are the kings of the Bundelia, there is no doubt about that, on a personal level I have always seen that this type of performance is very peculiar, the fact of remaining undefeated in the Bundesliga, in European Europe, is a demonstration of power, the vision of Xabi Alonso is very good, I could say that when a team is on a roll it can do all this, the last game in Budelsia they almost lost it, luckily they tied and came out well, that is something that I liked, there were already in the newspapers Some statements came out that Leverkusen had lost undefeated with a huge X, so I think that with Roma it will be another story, Roma is playing very well, this match will be Interesting.

Emerging triumphant from an all-Italian tie in the Europa League quarter-finals, Roma finished the job against AC Milan after earning a slim lead from the first leg at San Siro and then winning 2-1 on home turf one week later.

Gianluca Mancini struck for a second time in the tie, before Paulo Dybala produced the killer blow soon after, and despite Zeki Celik's subsequent dismissal, the Giallorossi held on; extending their quest to make a third straight European final - but the first without former boss Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho's men eked out a 1-0 aggregate win over Leverkusen in last year's semis before losing to competition specialists Sevilla in the final, only 12 months after lifting the inaugural Europa Conference League trophy.

There have still been no Serie A successes since the Europa League replaced the UEFA Cup in 2009, but Roma and Atalanta BC have been kept apart in the semi-final draw and could yet meet in this season's decider.
