It would be less fun when you eventually score goals in the 78th & 93rd minutes if the undefeated run weren't in danger.

I just had a crazy thought. Imagine Roma scores another to bring the game to overtime, and then Leverkusen scores 2 or 3 goals in overtime to tie/win the game. :laugh:

Still counts as a loss before ET. They have to turn it around before the end of 90+stoppage to keep the run alive.

Makes sense, would've been too good to be true.

Then and there
Looks like Leverkusen won't have a new undefeated matches record, but will remain tied at 48 with the Benfica team from the 1960's.

Was Alonso a bit too overconfident with his team selection for this match?

Imagine not starting your best player for the most important match of your season. Leverkusen deserve to lose for this horrific decision to leave Wirtz on the bench. It’s unbelievable.

What is Xabi Alonson thinking with benching his best players? It's not like the other remaining games of Bayer Leverkusen are more significant than this one.

Hoffman, Hlozek are costing them this game.

It’s a catastrophic mistake that just ruined their entire season. I’m honestly shocked. Like was he paid off by Roma or something??

I don't know. I guess he is truly following Pep Guardiola footstep on changing a winning formula at the most important game of their season.

Should Pellegrini have been given a yellow for faking an injury and unsportsmanlike conduct plus wasting time? There was no contact to his head.

Wirtz didn't play against Frankfurt either, why is everyone assuming he's 100% fit?

Even at 50% this is your season right here on the line you can’t keep a talent like that on the bench for a match like this.
