“Simply incredible”, Xhaka marveled at the crazy scenario of the Bayer-Roma half

Bayer Leverkusen, qualified for the Europa League final, also achieved the feat of maintaining their unbeaten streak by winning the match 2-2 against AS Roma. At the microphone of RTL, midfielder Granit Xhaka was both surprised at being led by the Romans, but also at the team’s ability to avoid defeat.

After 66 minutes on two penalties scored by Leandro Paredes against the run of play, Bayer Leverkusen managed to reverse the trend, as very often this season, in the last ten minutes and in extra time. Thus, they can take a draw, and maintain this streak of 49 games without defeat this season in all competitions.

“We ourselves don’t know how we managed to be 2-0 down,” Granit Xhaka said in surprise. “Before we conceded the first goal we had very clear chances, in the second half we had clear chances. But it’s always like that in football, when you don’t put them in front, you take them behind”, emphasized the Swiss national team player, at the microphone to the broadcaster RTL.

“To be able to come back against a team like that and not lose is incredible. Once again, this as well as scoring a goal, it’s just incredible,” Xhaka said.

“A final, we’re going there to win”

After the last two days of the championship which it has been assured to win for several weeks, Bayer Leverkusen will play the final of the Europa League on May 22 in Dublin against Atalanta Bergamo and the final of the German Cup three days later Kaiserslautern, residents of the second division.

“A final, we’re going there to win. It’s going to be another Italian team that’s very well placed tactically. We’re going to give everything to bring the cup back to Leverkusen,” Xhaka concluded.

“The players from the bench have had a big impact again. We need them. For me it is never easy not to play players who are in good form from the start, but they are ready to bring in some talent. “impact and I thank them for that,” emphasized Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso at the microphone of RTL.
