It was reported on May 10 that at the end of the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Bayer Leverkusen reversed Roma 2-0 at the last minute at home, successfully advancing to the Europa League final while maintaining a 49-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
Leverkusen's start to this game was very unsmooth, not only did the shot repeatedly invalidate, but the defense also made mistakes in the 42nd minute, Roma Azmoun was pulled down in the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty, and the opponent Paredes scored a penalty, 1-0. In the second half, in his own penalty area, the referee awarded Hlozhek handball again, and Leverkusen sent the penalty again, and Paredes scored a penalty again, 2-0!
However, then it came into real Leverkusen time, and in the 82nd minute, Roma finally made a mistake, and they defended with all their strength in the chaos of their own penalty area and touched the ball into their own goal, 1-2, Leverkusen also saw the last hope, in the 97th minute, Stanišić attacked the right side and scored a powerful goal, and finally Leverkusen 2-2 Roma, 4-2 on aggregate to advance to the Europa League final.
On the surface, it seems that Bayer Leverkusen is really tough, and at the last moment they ensured their 49-game unbeaten run and also reached the Europa League final, and judging from the statistics of this game, they should indeed advance, with 60% possession and more than 30 shots on goal, which is three times more than the opponent, and finally reversed the draw, which was the result of hard work.
Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten so far, in addition to defending well, of course, the most proud of their attack is indeed full of firepower, they eliminated West Ham United in the Premier League, they created a whopping 33 shots on goal at their home stadium, and this game is 32 shots, which shows the firepower is powerful. In the other Europa League final, Atalanta thrashed Marseille 3-0 and eliminated Marseille 4-1 on aggregate over two legs to advance to the final.
In this way, this Europa League final will be a contest between the Bundesliga and Serie A, and the Champions League is also a contest between the Bundesliga and La Liga. Can Bayer Leverkusen remain unbeaten and win the Europa League? Can Alonso pull off a miracle for Bayer Leverkusen? And in the Champions League, can Real Madrid step on Dort to win the Champions League again? Can Carlo Ancelotti set a new coaching record? The two hardest teams really should play each other to see who has the toughest lives!
