The victory over Kaiserslautern in the German Cup is a "compulsory homework" for Bayer Leverkusen. After all, they are "noble" Bundesliga champions, and their opponents are just players in low-level competitions, and the "dark horse" helped them to reach this level, and they have long been "transgressed". However, it should be known that Leverkusen suffered a Europa League defeat, and Kaiser also staged his own exclusive miracle, which is considered to be Leverkusen's "predecessor", so this contest still attracted a lot of attention.

Kaiserslautern did not give up their resistance at all, they have caused a lot of difficulties since the start of the game, Xavi Alonso was nervous, but he did not win as much as expected. Xhaka opened the scoring in the opening 17 minutes and soon they were constrained by a foul on Kossonou that quickly sent him off, something the team simply didn't expect. Since then, Kaiserslautern's hopes have improved a lot.

However, the strength of the new and old champions is naturally quite different. Although Kaiserslautern has encountered hope and wants to grasp it, their strength does not allow it. Leverkusen's goal and the "plus or minus bonus" of being sent off relied on their own ability to grasp the game, and on the basis of control, the game came to their familiar mode, and the 60%+ data is a good show. The stats of 14 shots and 4 shots on target were a little less efficient, but they still created a big threat.

It's just that the play of the key people in the front court is relatively mediocre, so that their former firepower cannot be brought into play, and their vitality is not as explosive as when they are competing for the championship of the event. Obviously, Wirtz is one of the most distinctive, whether it is the Europa League showdown or this round of the German Cup, he is a little confused, compared to the embarrassment of the big brothers in the Blue Moon after winning the championship and losing to Manchester United, a bit similar.

Luckily, though, Bayer Leverkusen still won the trophy. The achievement of the double combined with the performance of losing only once a season [in the Europa League] is good enough. Even the most demanding person must give a thumbs up to Xavi Alonso's achievement. However, the problems that arose in these two decisive battles must also be noticed by Xavi Alonso, who must maintain enough fighting spirit, otherwise how beautiful they will be when they step on the altar and how sad they will be when they fall.
