Leverkusen Reporter Phillip Arens' Take on the News - What makes Felix Magath the greatest supporter of Bayer?
The 2:2 draw against Roma reflected typical Bayer Leverkusen insanity during this season.
Let's not attribute the numerous late goals to mere luck or even the referee's decisions. There might be a bit of coincidence here. Coach Xabi Alonso is left speechless.
However, these last-second goals are a testament to the exceptional caliber of a team that no longer aligns with terms like "runners-up" or "comfort zone" once associated with Bayer 04.
It also showcases the phenomenal fitness showcased at the end of a grueling season - Felix Magath would certainly advocate for this Bayer Leverkusen squad from 2023/24.
Most teams worldwide would've opted for a defensive approach once they reached a 2:1 lead against Roma, hence securing a spot in the final.
But Xabi Alonso's relentless warriors refuse to settle for anything less than victory. "I would've been truly dissatisfied if we had lost," stated Granit Xhaka following the Roma clash.
The undefeated streak - 49 matches in all competitions - continues to propel the new German champions further.
This run is anticipated to continue for another four matches. There won't be an additional championship for that. Yet, the "perfect season" would forever be associated with Bayer Leverkusen - and that's the true insanity.
