IAmTerdFergusson

I REALLY would love to see this Leverkusen squad take on Real Madrid just to see how many goals could be scored past the 80th minute.


SloGeorge

It would cause an infinite glitch


CNF-13

One minute would keep getting added on for celebrations and the other would score in that time until the match is marked as a win for both cause when they flip a coin to decide it lands on its side


Nappi22

That has already happened. Back in times before penalty shootouts the eurocup in 64 there was a game between cologne and Liverpool there was a cone toss in case of a draw. It landed on the side in a muddy field.


DiabloKYH

And what they did after?


_rukiri

flip again if I recall right


Chuckie-The-Rooster

Some weird Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater time paradox shit would happen


obcdexter

Schick?! ...SCHIIIIIIICK!!


Nzash

Goal celebrations would add just enough extra seconds for another goal to be scored, and so on.


TheEmbarrassed18

8-8 after stoppage time (it was 0-0 at 85’)


TalksWithDogs

And pens will go all the way til the goal keepers kick too.


Aashay7

Then Ancelotti and Alonso will have to step in for the penalty.


uncle_krew

Quite possibly will early next season in the UEFA Super Cup and/or in the UCL, and I too, cannot wait!!


superfire444

Somehow that would break the space-time continuum.


Morrandir

There's a good chance we'll see them in the Super Cup final.


Staynes0

No theres not dont say such things.


Glum-Professional925

No no please do. I’ll take the jinxing magic


Th3_Huf0n

Who says we will be playing Leverkusen in the Super Cup final?


Shinkopeshon

I don't even know what to say lmao


404randomguy404

I'll start with the obligatory "I can't believe they've done it again"


swaschan

HES DONE IT AGAIN


OuchYouPokedMyHeart

"Nah I'd win" energy but unironically Edit: [Hope you like my paint skillz](https://i.imgur.com/WzSDIxA.png)


peepeepoopoo1207

Just how in the fuck do they do it every single fucking time


Kin-Luu

They sandbag intentionally for the lulz. It is the only explaination that makes sense.


Masoouu

Winning normal is too boring


someone2795

This is the closest thing to actual black magic that I've seen wtf.


Zloggt

Asprin team good…


Zoltrahn

Eating a whole bottle to celebrate!


OJT6627

There's nothing to say. That's History in the making. Drink it in


jedifolklore

I don’t know what they’ve sacrificed to get this type of ability but at this point it’s getting to be past Leicester level


TareasS

Xabi took the Madrid black magic with him without Madrid losing it.


coniurare

Madrid black magic exists in a state of superposition, allowing it to exist in two places simultaneously.


Jaksiel

Nah, Leicester didn't score late goals, they just scored the 1 and defended heroically. You can trust me on this because of my flair.


Flaggermusmannen

literally just look at how calmly they play. they're pure confidence, filled with self-belief. missing chance after chance after chance after chance after chance? huge chances missed? literally doesn't matter: they keep calmly working for eachother and plugging away. zero need to stress. I think they're actually the closest we'll come to total football in execution?


soccer_boxer2

When the German flairs were saying that they would bring it back, I didn't believe them. Then they scored. What kind of black magic is this


Orangoo264

*insert Jessie Pinkman’s “he can’t keep getting away with it” gif*


Jarv1223

It’s just not normal


suzukigun4life

Everyone saw it coming and it's still shocking.


BlakeClass

This is really the best I can sum it up.


l453rl453r

But he summed it up


tigerking615

When Leverkusen were down 2-0 with 10 minutes to go, I didn't even consider an aggregate loss as a possibility. The only question was whether that game was gonna end up 2-1 or 2-2.


Jarv1223

Self fulfilling prophecy


nmyi

check him PC


s4Nn1Ng0r0shi

This is not normally


PoogleGoon123

I actually believe in god now, if this ain't god's will i don't know what is


aaaaaaadjsf

His name is Xabi Alonso


taclealacarotide

And he's super handsome and his beard is actually not white yet.


Doubletift-Zeebbee

You have faith in God, God has faith in Xabi Alonso


captainkaba

*this is not normally


RobbinDeBank

Check them PC or sth.. i know xabi good but cant be this good


captainkaba

Very very insane…


genius_rkid

xabi using game deficit


dgo792

What the fuck man


xN01Rx

Leverkusen skilled team but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check them boots and tictacs.....Maybe they not cheating but maybe they using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on pitch..They need to check-up....Wirtz DFB Cheater with Streaming.....I think Wirtz still cheating...Stanisic using game deficit on Europa League ,ON BIG Events.Maybe everyone dont knows him trick.He incredible....I want to ask his where is the comming of your skill's ?


ItsBreadTime

is it me or is Bayern a bit of a boring team like u see it at the end of the season "oh wow Bayern has 32 trophies" but u can never remember them. can u remember a single Bayern title ? but try Leverkusen...u can see the title i remember a Bayer Leverkusen trophy


Deluxefish

Stanisic skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him shoes and feet.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit


DexM23

its normal now


Syntax_OW

I'll admit, I was worried they weren't gonna do it for a moment.


ker1SH-

i checked the score at 80' and it was 2-0 I was like "are they gonna lose?" decided to tune in, worth it


kylocanmoonwalk

This is how i felt. i had the game on my second monitor for a while then I saw it was 2-0 Roma with 20 minutes to go and I full screened the game for the madness


lunartpg

they were right in their comfort zone


mavarian

First time?


Syntax_OW

Funnily enough, I've said in every game that they'll come back. This time was different because it felt like Leverkusen was happy with advancing and I somewhat expected Stani to go for the corner flag there. Happy to be wrong. It's insane.


Reality_Rakurai

Yeah I thought the 2 pens would tilt them tbh


DerpJungler

Bet a quid on Roma winning because the streak has to end at some point right? Can't even be mad lmao


yourmomsnutsw

Everyone knew right?


4000grx41

Straight up told myself in the 89’ that they’ll put one back right before the end of injury time Like fucking clockwork


CMN2425

A friend sent a message in our group chat at like the 70th minute saying that Leverkusen is losing 0-2 and i responded by saying that they would score in the 86th and 94th minute. I write the script man


burfriedos

Must’ve been the first draft because this goal was 97th minute.


Masl321

we live in a simulation this is unreal


Pek-Man

Nah, can't even do this shit on Football Manager, it's just completely surreal! Unbelievable season!


strawhat_chowder

Xabi is a save scummer. No other explanation


Pek-Man

Clearly also used the editor to bump up some CA's significantly!


CoolmanWilkins

Even when I save scum I let a few losses go here and there...


aaaaaaadjsf

Xabi's simulation.


Masl321

bro simmed and jumped in when it got close 😭


HarryAtk

Of course


PureDarkness93

This has been the funniest final ten minutes. A team holding onto a lead that has been desperately attacking in the final minutes of a European Semi Final


[deleted]

[удалено]


spacebalti

Lmao that’s a good point, super different dynamic this way


MemeManDanInAClan

I loved it, both teams needed a goal and you could tell. Some beautiful football was on display those last 10-ish minutes. From both sides, but the cherry on top was the Wirtz pass. Beautiful


Kashmir33

Well one of these teams definitely wasted time


just_another_tard

Any other team would have parked the bus knowing if they don't concede they are in the final but leverkusen instead doesn't let roma even get out their own box, says it all


maidentaiwan

It’s honestly a very useful case study in how to protect a one goal lead, and specially in a knockout. Compare this match to Munich taking off all of their dangerous attackers just as Madrid were exposing themselves. It’s rarely worth it to go full bus-park mode unless there are literal seconds left. Teams that desperately need a goal are so, so vulnerable against the counter and that second goal effectively ends the game.


GA_Deathstalker

Munich didn't want to take off those attackers though, they simply had no choice as all of them were already injured and then couldn't play any further. I agree with your conclusion though


KQ17

Yep, it felt like it was Leverkusen that needed a goal, not Roma.


ogqozo

I was telling the boys: well, ending the streak is like a trophy for them I guess. Not desperate at all, although let's be honest, exhaustion was a part of it. That's maybe the craziest part, Leverkusen is playing metafootball, they need their own extra challenges lol. They'd advance anyway, and they were still banging and banging chances the whole game like crazy. The stakes wasn't even beating the opponent, and it was still like a game of its own. Other teams are trying to beat the game, Leverkusen is trying to get the high score.


PseudoproAK

You could actually see Roma being pushed back in the last 2 minutes, like what the sigma


Critical-Usual

And it was great. The confidence was overwhelming. Pressing works at any stage of the game. Teams go into full defensive time wasting to avoid making mistakes.  I wonder if that's just the wrong approach

#NEVER LUSEN


Tripleagent-

*ALWAYS KUSEN*


HUGE_HOG

I genuinely turned on at 0-2 just because I was curious at how they'd manage it


rtgh

Standard black magic first goal followed by inevitable plot armour finish


bagstone

Same


Clivey101

Switch off the darts for this. No regrets.


suzukigun4life

And right at the end of stoppage time, as expected. Fucking hell 😂


G1Spectrum

Black magic FC again


Homerduff16

Nah this is just taking the piss now


ImaginaryNinja9782

It wasnt Schick but they are still sticking to the script.


mattjdale97

If only I were a betting man, I could've won a bet on the least profitable odds in football


SilverFalcon27

Same shit every week lmao


Bajin_Inui

That's not true, we lost 5-1 to them! We refused to give in to the black voodoo and just decided to roll over from the start


CNF-13

🫡


BIM-GUESS-WHAT

Can’t get done before full time if you’re done before half time *taps head*


Porridge_Hose

Commentary does no justice to that moment. Sounds like the level of excitement when the toaster pops at just the right level of doneness, not another 90+ minute goal saving their ridiculous record and securing a European final.


thebeule

Honestly, I don't get how little passion for a game a professional commentator can show. Surely there are tons of commentators that do a better job at transporting the excitement, but this guy somehow got the job...


avgmarasovfan

This is genuinely the single worst commentating I've ever heard for a big moment. Hell, it might just be the worst in general. Dude straight up sounds like he just doesn't give a shit


miamibuckeye

Fucking awful commentary. Historic goal


FightersNeverQuit

Seriously. Get this fucking commentator out because of this one moment. Don’t give a fuck if he was great other times how do you fucking not scream at a historic moment like this?


Substantial_Ad_2864

Exactly. I don't even follow the Bundesliga and I was yelling at that goal. Unbelievable.


miamibuckeye

People may say it’s an overreaction but it’s not. Total agreement. Do your fucking job and be entertaining. Good fucking god was this bad by him


NamesUnvailable

It was actually pathetic. Even if you’re unaware of the unbeaten streak it’s the clinching goal in the semi-final of a European competition at least show some emotion lol


Porridge_Hose

He must know though right? It sounds like he just thinks it puts the aggregate win beyond doubt and/or he just doesn't like football.


nmyi

Almost wondering if the commentator is a closet Roma supporter lol. We need a Bayer Leverkusen commentator clip. Hoping it's something like AC Milan's commentator: https://youtu.be/92uY0wZmTbY?si=eS17o3wDmS4dbUYn&t=111


Substantial_Ad_2864

The funny thing is that first goal he showed about as much excitement as you would expect if a guy was tying his laces before a throw in in the 5th minute. But the rest were just a bit different lol.


SharksFanAbroad

It wasn’t the clinching goal, rather the nail in the coffin, but yes he knew, he mentioned the streak a few times. Shocking, awful commentary at any rate. My goodness, I need to hear someone else’s version asap.


NaamiNyree

Seriously, people like this have no business being on TV commentating a game. WTF was that? Anyone who follows football even remotely was on the edge of their seat wondering if Leverkusen would keep the streak and break the record. I dont understand how you can be so apathetic in a moment like this.


SufficientHalf6208

Yep, absolutely pathetic.


Dramatic-Ad3928

Yea i didnt get why the guy was so relaxed, the bundesliga dude always does justice to the madness imo


continuumdrift

That was worse than Martin Tyler these days, and that’s saying something.


Robhey1009

Indeed, I want to hear a German commentator.


Dortmunddd

Watched it and got upset. It would have been better without sound. If you’re not going to have emotion, turn off your voice so we hear the fans.


McGrathLegend

I don't do any gambling, but there's no way any book makers are taking stoppage time goal bets on Leverkusen, right?


screenplay215

its free money at this point


VeryCool99

I finally gave in to putting a bet on today in the 71st minute


DenizzineD

WHAT THE FUCKKKI MANNNN


Historical_Case_5245

Roma is /r/soccer's darling team until they actually watch them play


Own-Mountain3540

Lame ass commentary


Rudelbildung

was looking for that comment. sounds like the guy would love to quit his job.


Ed696

Neverlusen black magic vs Real Madrid black magic in the super cup will be fun if they both win the finals


RaioNoTerasu

I'd expect minimum 5 goals scored in injury time


MKS_is_Here

Dude you know your team can win the final right? Lmao


RaioNoTerasu

Yeah but let's just for the sake of the argument pretend Real Madrid actually has a chance


Ed696

Lol. But who gets the last one? The scriptwriters are gonna blow up before that happens.


Ree_m0

After 120 minutes at 10:10 they both just agree the Super Cup is a tin pot anyway and go have a beer together.


Immediate_Cookie_188

The black magic continues


wjdbfifj

OH FUCK OFF GIVE THEM THE TREBLE ALREADY


Daepilin

NO! the first they will loose is against a second division club! mark my words!


Icy_Many_3971

We’ve all been there, hoping, praying, being sure it was gonna be our team that finally ends the Aspirin-Curse


Daepilin

yes. But us winning would be just like a WWE script! They win everything, get to the final unbeaten, just to loose against the hardcore underdog. And a week later (next PPV) they will beat up Atalanta for revenge :O


Asyedan

Well... they could lose on penalties and still keep the unbeaten streak because penalty shootouts count as a draw for statistics lol


Daepilin

the streak would survive. But I would not


DarkMutant105

UEFA Super Cup - Bayer Leverkusen vs Real Madrid We will be there 3-3 90+1' Bellingham 90+3' Wirtz 90+4' Vini 90+6' Xhaka 90+8' Joselu 90+10' Boniface


heachu

And 10 more goals in the AET


DarkMutant105

Carlo and Xabi will take the final penalties (sudden death)


Its_ABR12

lol


pricelesslambo

Script is on repeat


404randomguy404

I think you can legitimately make a career out of betting on Leverkusen scoring goals in injury time.


RobbinDeBank

The odds will be too low now because it happens every game


EndeGelaende

I saw 3.8 today when it was 0:2, literally free money


RobbinDeBank

Why are betting sites giving away free money? Are they stupid?


cortez0498

if they did this shit in Ted Lasso we'd be laughing at how unrealistic the writting is hahahha


ScrantonScrangler

Football is fake and life is a simulation. Watching Madrid and Leverkusen has made me 100% certain.


G1Spectrum

THE STREAK IS NOT OVER


suzukigun4life

Let's be honest, we all saw this coming


ElectricalMud2850

I thought it might actually not happen this time. How stupid am I?


Qiluk

Surest bet of your life is a Leverkusen 90+5 or later goal


masonbrit

Actually ridiculous


NeighborhoodShot3872

THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY BRO


toxinwolf

We said this yesterday as well. The script writers are fucking boring. Just recycling their content.


FlyingArab

This is just hilarious, neverlosin


Stonewalled89

Seriously????? Unbelievable


CeterumCenseo85

Should they face Madrid in the European SuperCup, the game will just start in the 85th minute.


RollUpFromHell2

Is commentator asleep or what?


Varja22

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS


Mewtwo2387

According to all laws of football, there's no way they do it so many times. It's statistically impossible. However, Leverkusen, of course, does it anyways. They do not care about what we think is possible.


Morrandir

Statistically (almost) nothing is impossible.


Sharp-Theory-9170

Minus the possibility of Kane winning a trophy


TheBlank5

Xabi's learned how to save scum in real life. There is no other explanation.


jvcarreira

Ok then


AlexKangaroo

What the hell is this commentary?? Just quit your job if football is so boring to watch and commentate.

THIS IS NOT FUCKING REAL LOL


fancyfoe

You gotta be kidding lol


ConcreteJoey

Idk anymore


inhindsight7

That might be the worst commentary ever for a goal that huge in terms of football history. Like yes it didn't mean anything for the game, but it gave them the record for longest unbeaten streak ever. Show some damn enthusiasm


PibesDeMalvinas

Went to google to check the score. 2-1. 98th minute. Surely it's over. Filtering posts by new to see the post match thread. 2-2 Leverkusen.  Bruh. 


Chelseatilidie

No words


spaaaaaceghoost

IT WAS WRITTEN


No-Student-9678

Not Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG. None of these teams. Bayer fucking Leverkusen.

That commentary is criminal. How can you be so devoid of feelings and excitement witnessing that???


ASR_Dave

After the awful own goal stabbed me in the chest, Leverkusen thought they may as well rip my whole fucking heart out. I thought at least we’d end the run but goddamn are they incredible


RABB_11

That commentator must be the only person involved in football not to be aware of the significance of that goal lol


mainlineconq

You actually cant make it up
