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.Robert Andrich scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time for Leverkusen to stretch its record to 46 games unbeaten across all competitions.

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.
Preview: Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen - prediction, team news, lineups
Fully agree and it could somewhat be misleading when you look at the Bundesliga table and then at Serie A table and see the huge difference between those teams statistically, but I believe that the game against Roma will be a close one. As you said, Roma is playing pretty well and especially the game in their home stadium is going to be a tough for Leverkusen. The time will come when they don't score the lucky punch in the 90 + minutes as they have now done a couple times. They got away with it until now, but Roma is a team that understands how to let play time in their favor.
Interesting match up and I still hope that they won't lose a single game in the Bundesliga as it would indeed be amazing. The Bundesliga might not be as strong as the Premier League, but not losing a single game when there are opponents like Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig and some others is impressive.
