Bayer Leverkusen has tried to make it to a trophy, but it was not easy, although we know with Alonso they are covered.
That is why I still didn’t panic when the game ended up to the penalty shootout because that is what I was praying for; if not, they will have lost this chance of a trophy.
But Grimaldo gave them this chance to penalty shootout when he got his goal in the 88th minute, and everyone thinks Bayer Leverkusen will lose the game. but know all have been history; they have gotten their trophy. I also see the spirit of the unbeaten in them, so we expect to see more performances, even if it will be more than the last season.
Looks like that Leverkusen will be continue this season where they have ended the last one with scoring goals at the last Minutes and dont lose.
The goal from Patrick Schick i guess was the one that have given Leverkusen some extra motivation for the penalty shootout.
Making such an comeback with only 10 Players since they got an red card in the 37 Minute is awesome and the win is earned.
I watched the German Super Cup final between Leverkusen vs Stuttgart and overall Leverkusen was still consistent in terms of creative strategy. Xabi Alonso was able to provide a surprise in the final minutes. Because Stuttgart was able to provide fierce resistance. It was clear that these two coaches were competing with each other with their best tactics on the field. The match which was also full of yellow card and red card drama was unavoidable. The goal in the 89th minute from Leverkusen really proved that Xabi Alonso and his squad were on a different level so that when undergoing a penalty shootout the mentality of his players was burning again. This victory will be the opening road to undergoing the Bundesliga competition.
