So far this season, Bayer Leverkusen have scored at the last minute on a number of occasions to keep their unbeaten streak alive. However, in the next Europa League semi-finals, Bayer Leverkusen will face a severe test, talking about the Bundesliga champion team, Roma coach De Rossi said that there is no invincible team in this world, and the implication is that Roma are confident of beating their opponents at home, allowing Leverkusen to suffer their first defeat of the season.
In fact, Roma are not in bad form compared to Bayer Leverkusen, and they have been one of the strongest teams in Serie A since De Rossi took over. In this round away against Napoli, Roma got one more point, continued to rank fifth in Serie A, and is expected to participate in the Champions League next season.
In this game, Dybala scored from the penalty spot, which once helped Roma lead 1-0. However, Oliveira then scored a fairy kick that deflected off the ball and flew in an eerie arc before flying into the Roma gate to equalise for Napoli. Osimhen then scored a penalty to put Roma 2-1 down.
In the 88th minute, Roma, who was unwilling to lose, finally seized the corner kick opportunity and scored with a header from Abraham, and finally drew 2-2 with the opponent. With Romelu Lukaku injured, Tammy Abraham is likely to start the Europa League semi-finals and it would be a great thing for Roma that he was able to score in time to get his feeling back.
Coupled with the 2-1 away win over Udinese three days ago, Roma have either scored or drawn in the last two rounds of Serie A, and it is clear that they also have the ability to score in the final moments of the game. After this game, Roma will officially enter the rhythm of the Europa League semi-finals, and they will also be tested by the best team in Europe.
Roma will play at home in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals and this game could well determine whether they qualify or not. If they can't beat their opponents at home, it will be a bit difficult for Roma to reach the final on the road. However, it is too difficult to beat Bayer Leverkusen, so far this season, the top four teams such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have failed to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and if Roma can let their opponents lose for the first time, it will definitely create a miracle, and they will become the first team to beat Bayer Leverkusen this season.
In addition to Leverkusen's strength, their tenacity makes opponents fearful. According to statistics, in the Bundesliga and Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen has drawn or killed their opponents 11 times. In this round of the Bundesliga, seeing that Bayer Leverkusen was about to lose to Stuttgart, they still scored the equalizer in the second count, which can only be explained by metaphysics.
However, as De Rossi said after this round of Serie A, there is no absolutely invincible team in this world. Bayer Leverkusen can't always rely on luck to remain unbeaten, and Roma have a lot of luck, plus they also knocked out their opponents in the Europa League semi-finals last season (1-0 at home), a psychological advantage that may help Roma get a good end at home. If they can really beat Bayer Leverkusen and interrupt the opponent's unbeaten momentum, it is likely to cause Leverkusen's psychological defense to collapse, then Roma will have hope of reaching the final!
