Bayer Leverkusen is not stopping. Another comeback victory, another win secured in stoppage time, confirming the great spirit that distinguishes Xabi Alonso's team. On the last matchday, Leverkusen overcame Hoffenheim (2-1), scoring two goals in three minutes which allowed them to secure the 3 points and maintain their season-long unbeaten streak (39 consecutive matches without defeat across the league and cups).
After falling behind in the first half, Leverkusen caught up in the 88th minute thanks to a goal by Robert Andrich. Exactly three minutes later, at the 91st, a familiar face to Roma sent the BayArena into ecstasy: it's Patrick Schick the man of the match, perfect in finding the winning touch a step away from the final whistle, giving three points of huge importance to Xabi Alonso's team. Bayer Leverkusen continues to confirm its trademark, the extra-time goals. Yesterday's goal allowed them to consolidate the first place, moving +13 ahead of Bayern Munich.
Tuchel Crowns Bayer Leverkusen
The Bavarians, in fact, collapsed 2-0 at home against Borussia Dortmund, leaving further ground for Leverkusen to soar towards the title. Thomas Tuchel (Bayern's coach) effectively crowned the rivals in the post-match press conference: «Congratulations to Leverkusen, the title chase for us is over».
This statement by the German coach could also be a strategy. Certainly, with 7 matchdays remaining, catching up to Xabi Alonso's team could become an impossible feat. A perfect machine that runs swiftly towards the finish line and seems to break through any obstacle in its way.
