Bayer Leverkusen and drama often go hand-in-hand. Die Werkself never know when they’re beaten and Saturday’s result against Stuttgart shows just that. 2-0 down with 34 minutes remaining, Robert Andrich rescued a point for the German champions in the sixth minute of added time to extend their unbeaten run to 46 games.
It’s a testament to the mentality that Xabi Alonso has instilled in this team, which last lost on 27 May 2023 against a Bochum side fighting relegation. Not only that, Leverkusen are playing breathtaking football and like the reverse fixture, there’s no doubt that the Leverkusen-Stuttgart games have been the best in the Bundesliga this season.
Crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in the club’s history two weeks ago, ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year monopoly, Bayer Leverkusen are just three games away from going an entire league campaign unbeaten, cementing them as one of the greatest teams in history. With upcoming games against Eintracht Frankfurt, Bochum and Augsburg, that’s entirely possible.
But not only that, the treble is still on. With a Europa League semi-final against AS Roma coming up and a DFB Pokal final against Kaiserslautern, it’s truly been a season to remember for Die Werkself.
