Stuttgart had won seven of its nine games since losing to Leverkusen in the German Cup and led 2-0 against Leverkusen, but even that wasn’t enough of a cushion to prevent Alonso’s team from coming back and extending its unbeaten record.at Borussia Dortmund. And in Leverkusen’s previous game, Amine Adli scored in the 90th minute for a 1-1 draw at West Ham in the Europa League.
“It’s not easy to explain what we did again after last week – again in the last minute,” Alonso said. “There’s no explanation why it happens so often, but it’s good for us.”“We’ve already reached our main target – to be champions – but we want to keep going, we don’t want to stop. There are still three games . We want to stay unbeaten for the rest of the season,” Alonso said.
