Leverkusen has done it again! The amazing streak without a loss continues, Andrich scored the equaliser in the set-up. What did Xabi Alonso say?

Leverkusen has done it again! The reigning Bundesliga champions hosted Stuttgart at their stadium in the 31st round of the German top flight. Although they were already down by two goals, they managed to equalise and extend their unbeaten streak. How did coach Xabi Alonso comment on the match against Stuttgart?

Xabi Alonso’s charges had the better start to the 31st Bundesliga round, coming a bit closer to scoring in the first half. In the end, however, the score remained the same after the first 45 minutes, with both teams going into the box with a 0:0 scoreline.

Two minutes into the second half, Stuttgart scored the first goal. Chris Fuhrich opened the scoring in the 47th minute, sending Stuttgart into the lead.

Ten minutes later, it was 2-0 to the visitors as Deniz Undav scored for the 18th time this season. Leverkusen reduced the score to 1:2 four minutes later, but the home side still had their work cut out for them. Amine Adli was the author of this goal.

However, the equaliser was not forthcoming for a long time and it seemed that Bayer would not make it this time and would succumb to their opponents. However, Robert Andrich refused to accept this fact, and in the sixth minute of the setup he scored after a standard situation to level the game at 2:2.

After 46 games, Leverkusen still hasn’t found their opponent. During this time, the reigning Bundesliga champions have enjoyed 38 wins and eight draws. In the statistics of losses, the impressive zero still shines. And the score? 127 goals scored, 36 conceded.

Xabi Alonso after the game against Stuttgart…

“Our big goal was to become champions and we want to continue and not stop. We have three more games in the league and next week’s game against Roma, for which we want to prepare well,” said Xabi Alonso in the post-match press conference.

“In the last few minutes we are in a very special moment. The first half was very tactical with a lot of chances for Stuttgart and for us. After the reduction to 1:2 we showed a good reaction. It was a top game against a top opponent and it will be interesting to play them in the Champions League next season,” added the coach of champions Leverkusen.
