Leverkusen have won the German Super Cup and it was hell of a work honestly.

Because they got a red card in the first half but this still didn't stop them. Even though Stuttgart got ahead, they came back and won by penalties. Xabi Alonso is continuing on his magical run. Starting the season with trophy must be feeling superb for the whole team and the fans.

It is good to see that the same spirit exists among the players. Maybe another unbeaten run is about to start... Tongue

Congratulations to Alonso for his first trophy this season, to be honest I expected them to win in regulation time, but it was the red card in the first half that changed this game. I didn't watch the match, but I see that there were a lot of fouls and a lot of yellow cards, which means that the match was important for the teams. And Stuttgart needed just a few minutes to win this match, and the penalty shootout is a game of luck, and Bayer was luckier here. In any case, this is a good start for Bayer.

Unquestionably, the red card was a major turning point. But let the amazing battle Bayer Leverkusen displayed on public view not to overshadow anything. Most of the game they were down a man, yet they never gave up. From Schick in the last minutes, that equaliser? Simply grit, people. Raw grit.

Under a leader like Xabi Alonso, you develop the kind of will needed for this. He understands how to persuade his people to dig deeply; he has been in difficult circumstances before. Think back on those victories in the DFB Pokal and the Bundesliga. Like this. The man is a winner, and he has this team thinking they may also be successful.

So, you can't just say that this was luck. And believe me, in the Bundesliga they will be a force to be reckoned with if they continue to play with this type of heart.
