Good afternoon! Welcome to the second leg of the Europa League round of 16: Bayer Leverkusen – Qarabag. Xabi Alonso’s men are playing to get into the top eight of the tournament, but they will have to beat the Azerbaijan team after 2-2 in the first leg.
The Bay Arena will host the return meeting. He Karabagh was about to surprise last Thursday after going 2-0 on the scoreboard. But the goals of Wirtz y Schick (the latter in stoppage time) avoided defeat for the German team. These are the first continental round of 16 for the team and they will try to continue making history in the competition.
For Leverkusen this is an ‘unexpected’ final on their way to the Triplet, as they have a chance of winning Bundesliga, Europa League and Cup. Alonso’s are the the only team in Europe that has not yet lost in all competitions (31 wins and five draws) and is one of the favorites to lift the title along with Liverpool.
