What is this? Will Leverkusen give up in the round of 16 this time.
They played against 10 men but it was they who struggled to make a victory to take them to the next round in the Europa League this time even they had to fall behind 2 goals first.
It would be regrettable if this result is maintained until the end of the match because apart from them failing to qualify for the next phase, Xabi record for matches without defeat must also end at the hands of Qarabag which we never expected because after all this should be able to win well.
The match entered crucial time but Leverkusen were still troubled by Qarabag's solid defense but there was still time for them to make a good comeback but Xabi had to try everything in the remaining time this time.

The Leverkusen team continues to set records by winning games time and time again. If someone told me yesterday that Leverkusen would win, I wouldn't believe it because the game was almost over even though Leverkusen ended up scoring the winning goal. However, to be honest, Leverkusen didn't play well because Qarabag received a red card, which makes it difficult for Leverkusen to win. If Qarabag did not receive a red card, the match would either end in a penalty shootout or Leverkusen would lose.
Leverkusen is happy that they won, but I'm still not sure if they can win the Europa League because of how they performed in this competition compared to how they did in the Bundesliga. In addition, there are a lot of teams that are stronger than them, like Atlanta, West Ham, and Liverpool. I won't include Roma because they aren't a formidable opponent for Leverkusen; even if they manage to overcome the other teams, they can't defeat Liverpool.
Leverkusen got another win and their record was not broken in yesterday's match but there is still a lot for Xabi to improve now because looking at yesterday's conditions we must be aware that Xabi's scheme is still weak and their strategy has been read to be monotonous but Xabi is difficult to replace the scheme that has happened with a new, better scheme and it must be considered again so that they are able to create several worst possibilities in terms of strategy so that when one scheme does not work well then they still have another scheme to try.
As for the chances of winning the Europa League, Liverpool are still the strongest while for Leverkusen it depends on how they continue their trend whether it is only limited to this or even better in the Europa League.
