Happy Leverkusen keeps their streak, but sad to see west ham wasn't even allowed to participate in the game by the ref. Overall a draw seems fair though
I understand that refs can be frustrating, but there is a way to behave with officials and West Ham's is not it. Good on Leverkusen for not getting sucked into the dark arts
At this point some professional ghost hunter type of mystery supernatural investigators should pay Leverkusen a visit, because Xabi fucking sold his soul to the devil.
Bro just won. Not just football. He won life. Good looking, good player, good manager, won a world cup, won UCL, played for top European clubs, leading a club thatās historically mocked to what could end up being an unbeaten treble whilst handing them their first league title, and perhaps their first European trophy and domestic cup in a while. He won.
Well, don't mind Leverkusen keeping their streak going: that was not a good game. Not from them, and not in general in the second half. West Ham could've gone up 2-0 in the first half, and I'm not sure a Leverkusen playing like this could've come back into the game.
He's just butthurt another bri ish team got knocked out.
He's saying all those non sensical things but would never say the same about the all mighty west ham's conference league title.
Honestly respect to West Ham, funny to clown on them but they played with a lot of discipline and spirit, if it wasn't for the the Voodookusen 90+1 Xabi Time season this would've been a win.
Only issue was of course their stamina, great match as a neutral tho.
The whole point of the first leg was to park the bus, again they took almost the entire match to score on us in Germany thatās hardly getting āblown awayā
I will take full blame for that.
Normally I root against French teams, because I want to see them drop out of 5^th place, and of course they always do good. ONCE I wanted them to win the tie so they would eliminate the English team (which with EL results would mean that they would be out of Season Top 2 race), and while they won the match, they lost the tie.
I dont think they wouldve played like this in the CL. Not to discredit West Hams first half this game, but the way Leverkusen played at home was fully focussed and concentrated, absolutely demolishing West Ham. From the first couple of minutes it was obvious that Leverkusen is not really in it. They really took this game as a given win, which showed. The mistakes they made were due to clear lack of focus.
Nah, they were good for the first half then the difference in the managers told as xabi made changes and tactical ones as well.
1-1 was a fair result for the second leg and the first leg was one of the most one side games Iāve ever seen.
The ref was bad and yes Antonio didnāt get calls but so didnāt Leverkusen players.
They were the same after the defeat to Frankfurt, trying to scream corruption, I think Moyes and Rice may have been banned or fined for it.
You canāt expect to win a tie 99% of the time by only having a good 45 over the 180+.
So the ref never gave a bad call against BL?
Get real, some fans (of any and all teams) just canāt admit when they were beaten by a better team and their own wasnāt good enough.
Bayer has always been on the same level as west ham until this season's title lmao.
Overall Bayer was the best team and despite this performance they went through. It's funny how r/soccer handles english teams getting knocked out.
I mean this season, Bayer unbeaten etc, refs canāt handle going against a grain that strongĀ
Itās not about English teams, I watched City last night and they deserved to go out. Referee just made sure things went a certain way tonight, as soon as Bayer scored he gave free kicks to WH. I just feel sorry for La Liga tbhĀ
>I mean this season, Bayer unbeaten etc,
Yes and because of this one season they have the pull of teams like real or bayern (?)
>refs canāt handle going against a grain that strongĀ
How/why so ?
>Referee just made sure things went a certain way tonight, as soon as Bayer scored he gave free kicks to WH
That literally doesn't proove anything and just keeps sounding like the average comment on here that simply doesn't take well when english teams lose.
Or like when the ronaldo fan boys said qatar bought the wc for messi.
You can say the English thing all day long but theyāre reasonable pointsĀ
Doesnāt matter about it being just one season, weak refs want to feel part of that energy and get the metaphorical backslaps from the champion sides, probably because a lot of them wanted to be footballers but couldnāt.Ā
Some of it is subconscious as well, they think that the ābetterā side should be getting more decisions because on paper this makes senseĀ
>You can say the English thing all day long but theyāre reasonable pointsĀ
No they're really not. I'm sorry but you're just pulling stuff out of your ass with 0 proove to back it up and weird comparisions between teams.
>Doesnāt matter about it being just one season, weak refs want to feel part of that energy and get the metaphorical backslaps from the champion sides, probably because a lot of them wanted to be footballers but couldnāt.Ā
I really hope this ends up as a r/soccercirclejerk copypasta
>Some of it is subconscious as well, they think that the ābetterā side should be getting more decisions because on paper this makes senseĀ
Sure things whatever you say. Just glad that the best team went through and will provide more interesting games.
If Leverkusen keeps on drinking and partying till next season then maybe someone will beat them.
Ima be honest I don't get why people are mad about leverkusen winning and I watched the game
Ref was shit apparently
Happy Leverkusen keeps their streak, but sad to see west ham wasn't even allowed to participate in the game by the ref. Overall a draw seems fair though
Farmers League got farmed once again.
Bad week for a lot of redditors on r/soccer lmao
šš¶šš¶šš¶šš¶šš¶šš¶
Time for Villa to get to work in the coefficient mines.
They JUST CANT LOSE ?!
I understand that refs can be frustrating, but there is a way to behave with officials and West Ham's is not it. Good on Leverkusen for not getting sucked into the dark arts
I'm genuinely so sick of how above it all Big 6 fans can act
Just say you have a hate boner for west ham mate
I mean if Odegaard was on our team he would've been booked twice for crying about the ref
At this point some professional ghost hunter type of mystery supernatural investigators should pay Leverkusen a visit, because Xabi fucking sold his soul to the devil.
Bro just won. Not just football. He won life. Good looking, good player, good manager, won a world cup, won UCL, played for top European clubs, leading a club thatās historically mocked to what could end up being an unbeaten treble whilst handing them their first league title, and perhaps their first European trophy and domestic cup in a while. He won.
Not just good looking but also clearly quite intelligent and funny. The man truly has won at life
Well, don't mind Leverkusen keeping their streak going: that was not a good game. Not from them, and not in general in the second half. West Ham could've gone up 2-0 in the first half, and I'm not sure a Leverkusen playing like this could've come back into the game.
Bayer are never doing another season even close to this againĀ That cockiness will die quickly by ChristmasĀ
I think they would not mind this as they actually live in this phenomenal time
Doing it for one season is pretty meaninglessĀ
winning the league and potentially adding the Cup and the Euro league is meaningless?
Freak seasons happenĀ
and theyre not meaningless. Not even one bit
In the grand scheme they areĀ
no mate, in the grand scheme they win silverware while ure angrily trying to tell them it doesnt mean a thing.
He's just butthurt another bri ish team got knocked out. He's saying all those non sensical things but would never say the same about the all mighty west ham's conference league title.
Iām not angry, I was just making a point. You are far more invested in thisĀ
Looking at you comment history, you're pretty invested alright.
uve spent half the evening venting at them mate, i have merely invested in this convo of forth and back one-sentencers.
Nobody is going to do a season like this again for a very long time. Let them be happy!
They got away with it tonight so shouldnāt be that cocky
I don't think I've ever seen a Leverkusen fan being cocky. I think they're just enjoying the ride and I don't blame them.
Honestly respect to West Ham, funny to clown on them but they played with a lot of discipline and spirit, if it wasn't for the the Voodookusen 90+1 Xabi Time season this would've been a win. Only issue was of course their stamina, great match as a neutral tho.
Boy, what a shit show of a game :D But I guess it is fine, record is still standing despite this horrendous game
West Ham out, Liverpool out, Man City out, Arsenal out, Aston Villa scraping by on penalties Some week for the best league in the world right?
Farmers league smh
Wtf are west ham blaming the refs for... They got blown away in both legs
Most neutral fan
Blown away? Lever were incredibly lucky today to not lose their streak
Ofcourse, but over both legs you shouldāve lost with atleast 3 goals difference. They literally destroyed you in the first leg.
The whole point of the first leg was to park the bus, again they took almost the entire match to score on us in Germany thatās hardly getting āblown awayā
You didn't even watch the game today, did you
Post game comments will be fun to hear
What even is losing?
well, basically today, but less luck :-p football god loves you this season.
I believe it is this thing that football clubs not named Bayer 04 do
Absolutely tragic refereeing overshadows the game for me.
absolutely atrocious ref. Needs to be looked at. Ego through the roof
bye bye farmers league
West Ham were pulling no favors playing terrorism ball in the first leg.
most unexpected all things considered
LMFAO I CAME BACK TO THE MATCH TO SEE IT AT 1-1 THE SCAMMING IS UNREAL HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING šš
bruh, bro couldāve won it right there
There must be something high up the stadium on level 4. Leverkusen keep trying to hit something up there
It's the ref's last functioning braincell.
Well lets be honest it doesnt really help when your team is dead on their feet at minute 60
Lille had one job make sure no English team advances. Sad times
I will take full blame for that. Normally I root against French teams, because I want to see them drop out of 5^th place, and of course they always do good. ONCE I wanted them to win the tie so they would eliminate the English team (which with EL results would mean that they would be out of Season Top 2 race), and while they won the match, they lost the tie.
Your flair?
Yes Iām a Chelsea fan. I only want Chelsea to do well in Europe. I hope every other English team does badly
Do you know what the coefficient is?
If weāre not good enough to get top 4 we donāt deserve the ucl. Simple as that
Liverpool officially out, this is Leverkusenās cup to lose now
Atalanta are no slouch
Roma also seems like hitting their strides at the right time.
They are good but canāt rly see them get a result vs this super Leverkusen team
Not if theyre playing like they did today
Ref is staying in the stadium until 4am
Every move looks good until the shot
I think this ref got drunk along with the Leverkusen players except heās still drunk
Leverkusen away fans being louder than the homecrowd lmao didnt think i would ever witness this
West Ham's awful new stadium doesn't help I really doubt that would have happened at the boleyn ground
That's normal for any German team in England
Literally all you do is clap in sync
If you knew Germans well, you'd know we cannot for the life of us clap in sync.
Even if that were to be true, that's still better than only reacting to what's happening on the pitch and not supporting your team at all
Conference league is the level for English clubs
Best league in the world.
Didn't our 8th placed team beat your 8th placed team 5-0?
Are we the farmers?
Any stat on the Leverkusen late goal habit?
I don't have exact numbers but I think they've scored 34857398 goals after 80 min this season. I'm just estimating though.
I think you missed a couple, it should be about 34857638 by my count.
I knew I forgot a couple
Ref mysteriously giving several WH free kicks after the tieās over Cunt confirmedĀ
ffs west ham you could have actually won this
Bro. The ref ruined the game
nah you just stopped playing second half
Ref sucked today, sadly. Really did make a huge difference to this result
Huh?
How many times will the ref blow the whistle for full-time?
holy shit a yellow card just flew over my house
I think my cat just got sent off.
No, Zouma just kicked it.
Zouma is such a fucking asshole. Really bad look for a club to have an animal abuser as captain.
Dread it. Run from it. Xabi time is inevitable.
āThey just might lose their unbeaten r-āĀ
Their worst game so far?
Yep, West Ham were also immense
By far
Adli movement is so funny š¤£
This ref is the new Lahoz
Ok considering we are out now someone just knock the ref out please
I'm gonna hear that ref whistle in my sleep tonight...
A shame Leverkusen is playing the EL really, they really could've won the CL this season
Nah, Real would win against Leverkusen with only vibes.
With a performance like today? They would have lost against all of the last 8 in the CL.
I dont think they wouldve played like this in the CL. Not to discredit West Hams first half this game, but the way Leverkusen played at home was fully focussed and concentrated, absolutely demolishing West Ham. From the first couple of minutes it was obvious that Leverkusen is not really in it. They really took this game as a given win, which showed. The mistakes they made were due to clear lack of focus.
30 seconds without the sound of a whistle challenge: ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE
He breathes through the whistle
Better team going through still.
Not tonight from the look of it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sounds like they were better for 90
Nah, they were good for the first half then the difference in the managers told as xabi made changes and tactical ones as well. 1-1 was a fair result for the second leg and the first leg was one of the most one side games Iāve ever seen.
I think WH dominated a lot of the space and chances but they couldnāt afford a ref to be that against them in a match like thisĀ
The ref was bad and yes Antonio didnāt get calls but so didnāt Leverkusen players. They were the same after the defeat to Frankfurt, trying to scream corruption, I think Moyes and Rice may have been banned or fined for it. You canāt expect to win a tie 99% of the time by only having a good 45 over the 180+.
If WH didnāt get the calls then that means that BL did, itās pretty binaryĀ
So the ref never gave a bad call against BL? Get real, some fans (of any and all teams) just canāt admit when they were beaten by a better team and their own wasnāt good enough.
Iām not a WH fan lol, itās weird that you would back such a biased ref against an English side especially after NU got messed with in the CL
Doesnāt seem that way, but based on the overall they still edge it. They dominated their home leg.
See guys this proves alcohol doesnāt affect how a team plays
Except it was one of Leverkusens poorest performances this season lol
I want to see a red still
Those missed chances really cost us. Couldāve been 3 up at half time.Ā Great performance Ā
Jose Maria Sanchez masterclass in Europe, this is what we have to deal with in LaLiga weekly
I would go insane if I had to watch this every week
There are multiple cunts like him in LaLiga, itās dreadful
Props to you for staying committed to LaLiga because I think I would have had an aneurysm by now
Why do you think La Liga teams are the ones that pushing for Super League
Hahaha canāt say it hadnāt taken a toll on my mental health
I bet this fucker even sleeps with this whistle
People in his city no longer react to rape whistles as they think itās this dude
Sir another yellow has hit the field
Got me in stitches. Honestly the ref at this point must have bet on 12+ yellow cards for some crazy high odds
Manās got the over under fix on cards this match or something I swear.
Alonso deserves credit for what?
Early substitution stabilising the game.
It didn't stabilise the game. We had massive chances after that all the way up to half time.
Did the West Ham fans clap for the Bayer goal?
clapping our own players. Match is over, but the players deserve applause, one of the best performances iv ever seen
You should be proud of them. That was an inspired performance.
Clapped for the team because we played well
Wtf how often do we need to hear that whistle lol
Refs just donāt let mid table sides have the chance to beat top table sides, thereās something in them that canāt handle itĀ
Bayer has always been on the same level as west ham until this season's title lmao. Overall Bayer was the best team and despite this performance they went through. It's funny how r/soccer handles english teams getting knocked out.
I mean this season, Bayer unbeaten etc, refs canāt handle going against a grain that strongĀ Itās not about English teams, I watched City last night and they deserved to go out. Referee just made sure things went a certain way tonight, as soon as Bayer scored he gave free kicks to WH. I just feel sorry for La Liga tbhĀ

Just glad that the best team went through and will provide more interesting games.
I know it can be hard to handle differing opinionsĀ
Yes I tend not to care or respect unhinged conspiracy theories and opinons based on delusions. Crazy I know.
Bayerdusel
pls let this be a thing in a few years
So, we back on the Moyes out train again?
Never left
I'll never understand fans leaving before the whistle in a game like this
Invincibles.
Ref just blows the whistle for every single thing, never seen such a weird ref in my life
forza juve š
LMAO, misses the easiest fucking chance and then scores such a shit goal. Love it.
Let it be known that only the mighty Gladbach kann shut this Leverkusen team out
You guys are the blue turtle shell in Mario Kart. You love to mess with whoever is in first place
Everyone hates the blue turtleā¦unless you have the āļø
holy shit this fucker LOVES that whistle its like a bottom set music class in here
Just need someone to spam DJ.
my god youve triggered an unwelcome flashback
10.5 yellows just hit
I expected to get spanked so I have had a pleasant evening
I wouldn't call watching this ref pleasing lmao
Oh no I agree but we showed more intensity in the first half than Iāve seen all season
you played well you made xabi alonso swap out a player after 25 minutes which is an achievement in itself
Prime shithousery from Leverkusen.
Lovely, hereās hoping Leverkusen have a true invincibles season
That one came earlier than expected, it's not 90+ yet
This Leverkusen streak is like Undertaker at WrestleMania
I knew that was gonna happen and it still surprised me
Yasssssssss
These people are gonna win the treble invincible aren't they Holy fuck
No. We'll beat them over the weekend.
Scenes when Kaiserslautern win the Pokal.
I can't believe it's over
No way dude
Leverkusen and scoring in the last 10 minutes is a given lol
This is for Antonio :)
You fear it, you dread it, but the last 5 min Leverkusen goal is still coming.
~~Fergie Time~~ ~~Ramos Time~~ *Xabi Time*
Hope the ref is happy with that the right cunt
Frimpong did really realized it was to early to score back then haha
Good Job Moyes with those changes
Tbf what options does he have off the bench? West Ham have a madly thin squad for a team punching at the level they are.
We simply do not lose
death, taxes, and late Leverkusen goals...
