LEVERKUSEN'S UNBEATEN STREAK ENDS 😳 'The magic RAN OUT!' - Ale Moreno | ESPN FC

unbeaten run in Bundesliga play and longer than that in domestic German football play these are the stats it's leig who brought that run to an end and this is exactly what they have brought to an end when you took a uh take a look at the longest unbeaten runs in Europe's top five leagues it's Bayern Munich in 2012 2013 this is since 2000 uh that stand ahead of all of them with 53 but by Leverkusen we're about to level psg's record but Le leig said no to that Juventus Arsenal Liverpool Barcelona Chelsea all in there as well when it comes to unbeaten record since the year 2000 oh Ali Moreno what does this tell us what did we learn well the same thing that we actually learned last weekend now the difference between last weekend and this weekend for B Leverkusen last weekend they were they were leading the match and they allow muchen glara to come back into the match and they stumble into a late match winner and we said then well it's the magic of Bayer lusen remains once again they're leading to nothing they allow a team to get back into the game the difference is this is a better team in life s they can punish the mistakes they punish a mistake eventually they go up 3-2 and now the magic is no longer there because at some point it runs out at some point Leverkusen is not going to be able to come back and really when you look at it you you're in full control of the match two nothing up at home you feeling confident everything is going your way and then you allow the goals that you allowed and you're talking about the the the first goal for liy which is late in the first half Free Run nobody picks him up and you have to highlight the fact that lus is making mistakes defensively because if there was one thing that people perhaps didn't talk about nearly as much last season given that we were so concerned about the late game heroics is that defensively they were lights out defensively this is a team that only allows 24 goals all the last season in Bundesliga in two matches in two matches this season they've already allowed five goals so it's time for shab alono to get the attention of his players it's difficult to do it's difficult to do because now because of their own success they've created and put this Target on them that wasn't there that wasn't there before and now it is and so you saw liick today once the the the whistle blew it's like they won the title they're running around arms up in the air knees pointing to the sky oh yes because they just won one single game in Bundesliga but it was one single game in Bundesliga against the defending champion and that broke this winning streak or this undefeated streak they have now become a Target that they weren't before and they better be ready for it otherwise these things are going to continue to happen but but it's also one game that 40 minutes in they probably think they they've lost you're too down um against the defending Champions and le as good as they are as high as the expectation for this season may be I I thought I thought that you know shut up shop here um lauan are not not going to let this go I I I was disappointed in in in that you you can see right before halftime but you've got that break for JA alono to address that for for everybody to kind of reset uh and come up for the second half and and and the truth is lusan was second best in in the second half uh leig had at one goal openda had one disallowed for offside as if that wasn't enough of a of a kind of warning shot from from them um lusion I but again and and may maybe it's maybe this is a lot of our fault but when we see lusion play and it comes down to the latter stages we think okay now we're now we're in for a game when that luck had to run out we've been seeing that all all summer long when you're two up manage the game control it you do not let the opponent back in for as good a story as it as it may be scoring later on and snatching points good teams do not not let the opponent back in when you've got the game one um lusan had the game one and and they simply threw it away I I I fully understand uh leipzig's kind of celebrations after the game because um not so long before it felt like this was just another one of those evenings for them I think we shouldn't underestimate that this is going to be a bit of a an exhale for lusin losing this game cuz I remember few years ago back in the ' 80s we we called a record 35 game undefeated record and I'm going to say for the first 32 33 it was great and we just kept playing but then we started thinking about it and a couple of days after we lost and we actually lost to Everton say Derby which obviously we weren't happy about but the following week there was there was there was just it was almost like something had been released cuz everybody was talking about it we weren't talking about it but anybody you met whatever you were was talking about it so I don't think you should underestimate that now there's going to be a little bit of a maybe they get back to basics yeah maybe so and I agree with you Stevie but that would be great if they were playing again next week however there's an international break so they're going to have to linger and think about this for a little while longer and guess what buing Munich play tomorrow and they can leap frog them and they can say you can catch us now this season by leusin these are Saturday's Bundesliga results who was it who got sent off for bruss of dund Deli ah Nico Slaughter thirman stook still can't get a win this season but we're only two games in three3 it finished with mind yes [Music]
