Last Thursday, Bergamo had doubts but a week later, they went through the return leg against Marseille with serenity thanks to a great De Ketelaere. After physically attending the final of the Belgian Cup, Tedesco must have missed the performance of the man who was criticized last year at AC Milan. If it was not decisive strictly speaking, it had an important influence in the transalpine qualification.
By managing to find intervals in an Olympian defense, certainly very lax, the midfielder was a permanent poison. He almost was the decisive player by finding the post (6th) then with a header repelled by Pau Lopez (15th). Then, he took too much time (36th) while Balerdi, the last defender on his heels, was on the ground.
Fortunately just before, Lookman had found the net with a powerful shot deflected by Gigot (30th, 1-0). And De Ketelaere had the good idea to serve the first scorer of the evening. Then, Gasperini's men managed their meeting without being worried. And after the break, Ruggeri killed the match with a splendid long-range attempt (52nd, 2-0) before Bilal Toure, with a curling shot, ridiculed OM (90th +5, 3-0)
At the hour mark, the Red Devil was able to quietly give up his place at the hour mark to Pasalic while in the other match, Lukaku thought he could achieve the feat with Roma thanks mainly to Paredes. While Leverkusen is undefeated since the start of the season, the Germans have failed in a surprising way. Thanks to two penalties from the Argentinian in the 43rd and 66th minutes, Roma caught up.
But Leverkusen never flinches. In the 83rd minute, Manchini pushed the ball into his half. And Xabi Alonso's men smiled. Because at the last second of added time (90th+4), Stanisic equalized. They truly are invincibles and this team is crazy. She will be in the Europa League final. Because in the end, the Germans always triumph. So far.
