The most optimistic pharmaceutical fans, when they see that Leverkusen is still 0:1 behind Dortmund in stoppage time, I am afraid that the trend has gone, right? Almost everyone is about to accept the fact that Leverkusen lost for the first time this season, but it has to be said that this season Alonso learned Zidane's metaphysical skills, and in stoppage time, he relied on a corner kick to equalize the score. Leverkusen's life is too hard to be analysed by common sense.
Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in 45 games in all competitions so far this season. In fact, in many games, Bayer Leverkusen was on the verge of losing at one point, but in the end they all passed the thrilling hurdles, and even reversed at the last moment. Although Bayer Leverkusen have performed well this season, it has to be said that luck favors them every time. In fact, in terms of strength, Bayer Leverkusen is not as good as Bayern in the Bundesliga, but Bayern's state is unstable this season, which objectively provides Leverkusen with the conditions to counterattack and win the championship. In addition, in the German Cup, Leverkusen has only met one Bundesliga team, Stuttgart, so far, and the process of their defeat of Stuttgart is also thrilling, falling behind twice, and finally completing a 3:2 reversal.
Is there a feeling that Leverkusen's strong results seem to be a little unpleasant. Take a look at their German Cup final opponents, Kaiserslautern, a Bundesliga side who are on the verge of relegation to the Bundesliga. If Bayer Leverkusen's final opponents are Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Eintracht Frankfurt, it will be considered the pinnacle of the showdown within Germany, but Kaiserslautern is obviously not in the same class as Bayer Leverkusen. Therefore, this season's Leverkusen's German Cup journey is like a pair of invisible hands that open the way for them, and they have never been given the opportunity to face off at the top. From the point of view of performance, this is of course a good thing and a blessing, but from another dimension, isn't this a pity?
The most obvious is the Europa League. Bayer Leverkusen have had such a dominance in the domestic arena this season that fans are hoping that they can make a difference in European competition. But the situation in the Europa League is very serious, and the fans of the pharmaceutical company probably do not have absolute hope for their team. Because, when it comes to the quarterfinals, there are still Liverpool and Milan, two potential top giants. If Bayer Leverkusen want to win the title, they are bound to meet these two teams. With their strength and heritage, no matter who they meet, it is not easy to pass.
But who would have thought that the two major upsets in the Europa League this season would directly erase the chances between Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool and Milan. These two upsets actually happened not long ago, one was Atalanta eliminated Liverpool, and the other was Roma eliminated Milan.
According to the previous design, if Leverkusen wants to win the championship, they must first eliminate Milan, and then single-handedly face Liverpool in the final to strive for a miracle. But now, it doesn't have to be so much trouble. In today's semi-finals, Bayer Leverkusen is definitely the strongest team. While Roma are a bit difficult to play against, and it was they who knocked out Bayer Leverkusen last season, this season is completely different, with Roma at least playing better than Milan. As for the final, whether it is Atalanta or Marseille, there is a high probability that they will not be Leverkusen's opponents.
It can be said that these two upsets saved Leverkusen big trouble, and they are also their biggest luck this season.
First of all, from a neutral point of view, we certainly hope that the likes of Liverpool and Milan will go further. Secondly, as mentioned earlier, Leverkusen's results are so good, it depends on the background and color, if they beat Milan and Liverpool to win the championship in the Europa League, then there is nothing to say about the whole process, two words, perfect. But now, even if they win the title, it seems that in some ways, it is not what people expected.
Let's put it this way, if Bayer Leverkusen really achieve the treble, it will certainly be the most glorious moment in the team's history. But looking at them all season, surrounded by opponents, except for Bayern, it seems that there are no top teams. This is indeed a pity.
However, whether you regret it or not, let's get the treble first.
