Leverkusen deserve all the titles they can win, says Alonso

Published by skeptic

Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso says his team deserve all three titles available to them this season after they qualified for the Europa League final by overcoming AS Roma on Thursday. Leverkusen, the Bundesliga champions who have also reached the May 25 German Cup final, played their 49th match without defeat in all competitions, surpassing Benfica’s long-standing European record set from 1963 to 1965. They achieved the milestone after a late comeback from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at home to Roma, securing their spot in the May 22 final in Dublin by 4-2 on aggregate. “We’ll play two finals in a week as a result,” Alonso said. “We showed great character today after their second goal. I looked my players in the eye afterwards and saw that they wanted more. “We still have the chance to win three titles. And my boys deserve all three titles.” Leverkusen had a slice of luck as Roma defender Gianluca Mancini deflected the ball into his own net in the 82nd minute. Substitute Josip Stanisic …

Roma will be hungry after Leverkusen loss, says Juve’s Allegri

Roma will be hungry after Leverkusen loss, says Juve’s Allegri

Published by skeptic

Juventus and AS Roma are involved in the battle for Champions League qualification in Serie A and, after the latter’s defeat in Europe, Massimiliano Allegri expects to face a side hungry to bounce back, the Juve coach said on Saturday. Roma, who lost their Europa League semi-final first leg 2-0 to German champions Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday, are fifth in the league standings after one win in three league games. “We will find an angry Roma from Thursday who want to get back to fighting for the top-four positions and we will need a good game from our side,” Allegri told a press conference ahead of Sunday’s game in Rome. “Roma are strong, they are doing very well. It will be a fascinating game, but difficult and complicated.” Juventus are third despite their dramatic decline in the second half of the season and victory on Sunday would secure their Champions League place. Allegri’s side lost once in the first half of the campaign, but have suffered four defeats in the second part and are on …

West Ham go down swinging as Bayer Leverkusen maintain unbeaten record

West Ham go down swinging as Bayer Leverkusen maintain unbeaten record

Published by skeptic

Bayer Leverkusen’s extraordinary unbeaten season continues but for a while the German champions were made to look ordinary by West Ham. Michail Antonio’s early goal was in no way undeserved as David Moyes sought to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and reach a European semi-final for a third successive season. Xabi Alonso’s side recovered its poise after the break however, with substitute Jeremie Frimpong’s late leveller keeping them unbeaten both domestically and in Europe. Home hopes were boosted by Jarrod Bowen, top scorer with 19 goals, being passed fit after missing the first leg and Sunday’s defeat at home to Fulham with a back problem. On the flip side Moyes was without Lucas Paqueta, his most creative player, with left-back Emerson also suspended. The Scot had joked beforehand that he hoped Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-title winning celebrations had stretched long into the week and Xabi Alonso duly made six changes from the side that clinched it on Sunday. Leverkusen did indeed begin shakily as West Ham, backed vociferously from the stands, did what they dared not in …

Leverkusen battle past Heidenheim to equal record unbeaten run

Leverkusen battle past Heidenheim to equal record unbeaten run

HEIDENHEIM, Germany :Bayer Leverkusen scored in each half to battle past hosts Heidenheim 2-1 on Saturday and open up an eight-point gap at the top of the table as they equalled a German record by going 32 matches unbeaten in all competitions. The visitors, who have never won a Bundesliga title, snatched the lead on the stroke of halftime when Jeremie Frimpong slotted home a deflected shot. Leverkusen, whose last major trophy was the 1993 German Cup, had chances to score again and Germany international Florian Wirtz hit the crossbar in the 77th minute. He made soon amends, however, delivering a superb assist for Amine Adli to make it 2-0. Heidenheim reduced the deficit in the 87th through Tim Kleindienst but could not find an equaliser. Xabi Alonso’s team have not lost a match this season in domestic and European competitions, equalling Bayern Munich’s record run of 32 unbeaten matches from 2020. “It was not difficult for us to play well after last week,” Alonso said, in reference to his team’s 3-0 win over Bayern …

Palacios last-gasp goal keeps Leverkusen clear at the top

Palacios last-gasp goal keeps Leverkusen clear at the top

Published by skeptic

AUGSBURG, Germany :Exequiel Palacios drilled in a stoppage-time goal to give Bayer Leverkusen a dramatic 1-0 win at Augsburg on Saturday and keep them top of the Bundesliga with a four-point advantage. Despite Leverkusen having hit the woodwork and missing several chances throughout, the game was heading for a goalless stalemate until Argentina international Palacios stabbed home from close range to lift his team to 45 points at the halfway stage of the season. Champions Bayern Munich, 3-0 winners over Hoffenheim on Friday, are second on 41 and with a game in hand. Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen team, who remain unbeaten after 26 matches in all competitions this season, had the upper hand from the start but managed only to hit the post through Alejandro Grimaldo’s left-foot shot in the 28th minute. Augsburg keeper Finn Dahmen did well to deny Robert Andrich and Patrik Schick. Grimaldo was also denied by Dahmen in the first half with Leverkusen clearly missing the offensive power of Victor Boniface. The Nigerian, Leverkusen’s top scorer this season, was injured last week …

Bayern denied by Leverkusen late show before Manchester United test | Bundesliga

Published by Sam

Even at the close of over 98 absorbing minutes, there was enough energy in their (unfamiliarly) green-clad legs to make a beeline in the same direction. Thomas Tuchel and a few of his players, led by Thomas Müller and Sven Ulreich, made plain their unhappiness to referee Daniel Schlager and his team – mainly at the penalty given to Leverkusen for Alphonso Davies’ challenge on Jonas Hofmann late on and, perhaps, the even later ruling out of a potential Dayot Upamecano winner, with the clear offside not stopping some of those on the Bayern Munich bench pointing towards the VAR screen. Whether you thought they had a point or not they, and most of the fans inside the Allianz Arena, with boos ringing out at the whistle, were in the minority. This laying down of an early-season gauntlet, not just in terms of result but in its manner, was a timely shot in the arm for the Bundesliga. There were moments when Bayern looked like Bayern, moved like Bayern. Yet what we ended up with …
