second was a complete fuck up despite the swerve that complicated it.
You can argue that the GK's anticipation was poor in both strikes, but there wasn't much anyone could have done for the first one, especially from there as you'd expect a cross or the strike to go to the near post

now they are also getting some luck, that GK fuck up
this Leverkusen team is great to watch, also Bundesliga usually plays at different times than Serie A, so go watch a game or two
There was a funny incident during Leverkusen first goal. Xhaka made a fake injury celebration but Leverkusen medical staff thought he was actually injured and were going to step on the pitch till Xabi Alonso stopped them.

It ended 2-2. Leverkusen have the chance to increase distance to 10 points. If they win in Koln i can't see how they can lose the title.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFIf Xabi leaves, just not to Bayern ffs. Every year they pump out players and coaches from the teams they get beaten to.
Maybe Xabi stays just like De Zerbi told today that he is staying. But obv Liverpool pull is strong here.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't one of the L's...I don't see Xabi taking the Bayern job at all. He either stays on his pre-planned trajectory and remains at Leverkusen another year until the Madrid job opens up potentially, or he takes the leap now to the other club he's best associated with as a player. His Liverpool and Real Madrid tenures were almost identical in length and he won a CL with both clubs as a player, and while I'm sure he has no bad feelings towards Bayern, it's no secret that he wanted to go to Bayern to learn the ways of Pep more than anything else, and Bayern is where Pep happened to be at the time. Couple that with Bayern's general instability and impatience and it's just not the right combination...Xabi will be given patience at Liverpool, the hope might be win the Prem each year but they know they're fighting an oil nation state-funded club and there's just not much you can do about that.
To say nothing about that a title at Leverkusen means being a Meisterschalle-winning manager, and doing so away from Bayern...going to Bayern afterwards and winning it again doesn't seem nearly as impressive.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberIt's a tough ground and Koln needs the points. Let's see what Mainz does against Gladbach and if that applies more pressure to Koln.
Not sure if Xabi Alonso feels he's ready to move to Liverpool. It's usually a great job for any manager but we cannot tell with the new owners since they got lucky with Klopp. They may get trigger happy if the new manager isn't successful from the get go.
Liverpool has a great track with managers. 140 years and they only changed 20 of them. We changed more in the last 20 years

they were losing 5-0 after half an hour vs fucking Augsburg at home... The fans in Germany own 51% of the club, so they are pretty much the owners. They are lucky that the only thing they got was getting screamed at. Should have kicked their pathetic ass.

perhaps some people think it would be better to leave the stadium, like they do in England, or just be happy with being shit.

10 years of FIFBecause it looks like Sunday league thing. Whistles and protests in some other ways is another thing, but having a meet up right after the match ends to interract with capo of ultras is so unprofessional and looks cringe af.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberWhy is it unprofessional for athletes to meet a delegate or the leader of the fans who pay their salaries after a disaster day at work?
If anything, that's the healthiest thing ever in sports.
