Leverkusen do it again

[Belfast Green]

Remarkable season… won the Bundesliga by a country mile, unbeaten in all comps, with a habit of pulling rabbits out of the hat: scoring so far into injury time, even Fergie would be chuffed. Tonight, 2-0 down at home to Roma in the Europa thingy, and so 2-2 on aggregate, they got an own goal to take them ahead on aggregate again but were just about to lose their unbeaten record; however Stanisic scored to make it 2-2 on the night, 4-2 on aggregate, in the 98th minute 😳😳😳.
Could we clone Xabi Alonso?

 

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

Xabi Alonso is from Gipuzkoa, a tiny province of the Spanish Basque country with a population of barely 700,000, which has also produced three of the managers nominated for this year's Premier League manager of the season - Iraola, Arteta and Emery. Amazing.

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

Incredible season.

 

[Argyleloyal]

And set a new record of 49 games unbeaten in all competitions

 

[Joe Totale]

When it comes to player production and coaching, the Basque region really is a cut above most other places in the world.

Athletic Club have remained one of the best teams in Spain despite their Basque only policy and the majority of both Real Sociedad and Osasuna's teams are also Basque, mainly through their own youth academies.

 

[cheshiregreen]

17 goals scored between 90th minute and the final whistle this season.

 

[Jon with no H]

Xabi Alonso must have felt really slighted at Argyle being called Last Minute FC at times last season!
