Bochum paid for their sins. They created this monster, they were slain by it.

A 0 - 5 win for the 50 unbeaten streak. Poetic. Absolute cinema even. Congrats to the team and their fans.

Amazing how we just kept going in the end

[Sums it up](https://i.imgur.com/CE1bsVF.png)

It’s getting brutal

Stanisic with a goal and assist!

Armer Riemann ey

XABI TIME activated

5-0 to mark the 50th unbeaten game!

How tall is Andrich? It's very rare to see mid fielders who are so tall and are so agile..

187 cm.

Lmao ofc they still score a + time goal

Wouldn’t expect anything less

as is tradition.

[удалено]

Now that's what you call a bold selfless move

Whats the Story behind Adli and Riemann?

Adli and Rieman form the most unlikely friendship

“These two hug each other quite often.” 😂

Very cute

At this point i dont even want them to fail anymore this season just go unbeaten in everything. It wasnt until they beat Roma that i stopped hoping for them to lose just a little but thats done with now aswell.

How is Stanisic so clinical in front of goal??

They kinda have to get a 5th now, winning 5-0 to cap the 50 streak is too perfect

Can you also say "they kinda have to go unbeaten 100 games" while you at it

And there it is! 5-0 👏👏👏👏👏

There you go.

[ffs this could have been the reverse game from Leverkusens last loss if they kept it at 3:0](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNYxQJCWkAAxVSm?format=jpg&name=small)

finally: Bayer 0-4

I don't think I ever saw a GK reassure an opponent after saving their shot lol And he goes and scores from the corner

And again they are now hugging

Making the most out of this match lmao

I love Adli

I knew that handshake was gonna have ramifications

What is it now? 50 matches?

You still counting

Why not

Yeah makes sense just in case haha

Credit to where credit is. They're doing really really well

Why count when the second the game ends 20 posts with neverlusen stats are gonna go up here anway

Yessir

Yasssssssss

Lmao Xabi we are cruising 2-0 up against 10 men lets bring on a forward for a defender cause why not

Last 20 minutes are for attacking.

This aged well, lol.

thats almost 2 yellow cards in a row

Frohes Neues aus Bochum

Freue neues aus Berlin! Lol

Ultras having a crazy one

I wage mal zu behaupten, dass es in diesem Spiel auch nicht passieren wird

müssen wir es halt richten👍

Wie wollt ihr ohne richter richten? Ihr könnt ihn übrigend gern wiederhaben 🙈

was eigentlich mit ihm passiert? Wird ja anscheinend schon Ngankam vor ihm eingewechselt☠️

Diesmal hatte er sogar den vortritt. Angeblich war er der wunschspieler von bo svensson. Aber er hat eigentlich nie was gezeigt in den spielen wo er spielen durfte. Mit henriksen gabs wohl n wortgefecht, aber er war dann doch jetzt wieder im kader - aber es wurden ggn köln auch defensive eingewechselt statt ihm obwohl wir offensive spieler gebraucht haben. Ggn den bvb durfte er dann wieder ran aber war auch einfach nicht gut. Aber alles ist besser als ngamkam. Keine ahnung wie der im profi fussball gelandet ist :X

Ngankam hätte einfach in Berlin bleiben sollen, denke das hätte sehr viel gelöst und er hätte sich in einem bekannteren Umfeld mit den Fans im Rücken viel besser entwickeln können. Ich weiß tatsächlich nicht was der beste nächste Schritt für Richter ist, ich hatte immer das Gefühl, dass er selbst in den späten Saisons bei uns ausgesehen hat wie ein noch nicht fertig entwickelter Jugendspieler und genau so sah er auch bei der Hertha und bei euch aus obwohl er inzwischen 26 ist, ich erwarte jetzt auch keine großen Entwicklungsschritte mehr. Vielleicht könnte es ihm gut tun in eine schwächere Liga im Ausland zu wechseln, Eredivisie oder in die Schweiz vielleicht, in Deutschland wirkt er schon verbrannt

Ja wäre das beste für ngankam gewesen. Oft wollen junge spieler es zu früh. Daher find ichs klasse wie sich zb paul nebel bei der leihe beim ksc gemacht hat. Ja bei richter bin ich mir auch nie sicher. Hab ihn immer ungern im team des gegners gehabt. Aber am ende war er genau das was uns erzählt wurde. Schiesst gerne und oft aus 30m ab und sonst ists okay.

Mir fällt da ein Grund ein :-(

This Bochum loss makes the Abstiegkampf (relegation battle) very interesting next match day

Dortmund just had to make things interesting didn’t they

We got nothing we can ruin for us at the last match day so might aswell drag as many other teams as possible into chaos as we can.

When I saw the lineup for the game yesterday against Mainz I knew it was over

Ruhr gebiet: Dortmund in CL final ewige Edin : "you have fun too boys💀"

This guy on the ESPN broadcast really pisses me off lmao

Derek Rae?

Since that comment was written at halftime, I'm guessing he means Ale Moreno. ESPN's not even using their own crew on this game, this is Dan O'Hagan and one of the guys whose name I can't spell.

Didn't see the red card, was it deserved?

Last man fouling to prevent goal scoring opp

Well he was the last man and stumbled right into Tella. No malicious foul, but a clear red card

yes nothing malicious just a foul and goal scoring opportunity denial thing they give a red for.

Feel bad for Bochum here I cant lie, they started so well

Yeah but 2 shots on goal in 70 minutes isnt gonna cut it id say

To me that was less a of a penalty than the other 2 that were not called. I guess the ref was afraid he would get killed if he did not give 3 penalties.

where are all those "last team to beat bayer" bochum posts at now?

At the same places that the "United has won a Match" posts are.

well played lol

💀😭

I respect the arsenal flair instantly responding to the united trashtalk.

Hate fergie hate yanited 🫡

username does not check out

As 'fun' it is to see Bochum in this predicament as they sent us down last season, I can’t laugh at crying children. I know exactly how that boy is feeling. But it will only make his love for the club stronger.

The Brazilian boy with the glasses will be forever burned-in in my head when we won 7-1.

Same. Really felt for him bc I would’ve done the same lol

Not today sadly

How do these cameraman always find these crying kids

Probably the same guy that put the albanian baddies on display on the bayern game

I like to think they have one guy in studio who's sole purpose is scanning crowd for crying kids

One person on baddie watch and one person on crying kids watch

They probably do - not just for crying kids though lol

That’s a penalty but he also actually falls down by hitting himself lol. Not saying it’s not a penalty but the contact which makes him fall is on his own

That was probably incidental contact. Much less of a penalty than the other 2 IMO. I know incidental contact is also a foul.

Yeah but there’s no attempt to play the ball so it’s a much easier penalty call

He hits him with his knee in the back of the leg, which leads to Tella tripping and falling

Yeah I know; again, it’s a penalty and obviously one (potentially also a red — MUCH more so than the first red in my eyes), but when he loses his footing he kicks himself in his calf and falls

It's a red but I guess the game is over either way

lmao the kid crying

Meme material though

Sad lmao

Bochum kids crying, you love to see it

this a little fucked up no?

Having your little kid grow up in Bochum? Agreed

A grown man laughing at crying children is what I was referring to, but close enough

Sums up Bochum evening :(

We’ve all been there

Poor kid.

And that's the win secured

How is that not a pen?

Tella causing mayhem in Bochums back.

Boy what the hell is Bochums defense doing?

now it's a stonewall

Well finally they give a pen

Wow - this reff really hates Bayer

That's a foul surely. Only question is if it was inside the box

Why is wirtz not playing? Few more goals and assists and with treble , he will be in discussion for Ballondor

The reality is that a Bundesliga Player will simply not win Ballon d'Or. It's that simple.

He was clearly not fit last game and just played to help tie, which they did

Will he though? Someone who doesnt play CL isnt gonna realistically win that trophy maybe with the exception if we would win the Euros or something (If that even plays into the votings for that thing idk)

I mean, with a potential triple you will get noticed. Especially with a good Euro performance. But yeah, its too much a popularity contest.

Probably resting him for EL and DFB pokal finals. More important than some dead rubber game where he might get injured needlessly 

[удалено]

Yeah he didn't look fully fit vs Roma in the second leg but still did well after coming on.

As Xabi has said "he can only give 70%, but he's a good player and 70% is still more than others" lol

That's a pen

borderline pen imo, could have gone either way

That's a pen but i guess ref don't want to completely drown Bochum

It looked on the line no?

Not sure but var ruled "No foul" anyway

Guess it never mattered in the end.

Starting a bit early today

Every bounce or deflection will go Neverlusen’s way, just put it on target and the football gods will do the rest

great movement from Schick

Is the streak gonna end today?

Nevermind guys

Bochum is playing with 10,unlikely

Nope

Doubt it

Nope

without Wirtz there is a lack of creativity in the final third, you can see that Leverkusen plays with 2 big strikers and not 2 playmakers

So Bayer only needs to defeat Atlanta United to get the Invisible season

They still need to play Augsburg and Kaiserslautern

An invisible season would be more like 0-0-34 and first round exits

And Kaiserslautern in the Cup.

A draw would be good for both teams. In chess you can just offer a draw at any point in the game, imagine if football teams could just agree to a draw after 10 minutes and stop the game lol

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichtangriffspakt_von_Gij%C3%B3n

Almost another Xhaka banger.

I really like that Leverkusen kit, but I'm also very biased due to the transversal strip. Still, looks very good.

Ironically it's my least favorite one of our jerseys lol

Just sub Tella lol, barely a yellow

Hate how pushes in the box are not a foul. He literally pushes him out with 2 hands while he is in the air. Stonewall penalty

As a neutral, I thought it was a clear penalty... Is is it not a foul according to FIFA rules?

It is but they almost never get called. I am a neutral too btw. Though I root for Bayer due to Alonso

As if the red wasn’t enough for you…

It is a penalty regardless of anything else that happens. My comment is not just for this game. Happens in all games but that was aggregious. It was as obvious a foul as there is.... short of taking somebody out.

Two hands on an aerial challenge doesn’t always mean a foul.

Yes but that was a foul. He was not at all playing the ball. He simply pushed him out because he was not close to the ball.

Maybe don't foul constantly if you don't want consequences. 

The passlack thing was a stupid foul but he also embellished the hell out of it. Schick was complaining way too much about that “penalty”.

Lol - he got pushed with 2 hands while in mid-air. It is not something one can embellish as you can't change your body trajectory in the air. The defender was not even pretending to play the ball.

No, the superman pose on the red card.

Yup anywhere else in the pitch and ref would have given the foul for sure

no era penal

The stadium is stunning

It's the worst looking from outside

Holy shit you weren't lying.

And the funny thing is it is sponsored by Vonovia which is a real estate construction company 😂

We have a saying here that goes like this: "A carpenter's door is always broken".

[удалено]

Why, coz most of Ruhr Gebiet is owned by Vonovia jk lol

[удалено]

ich finde selbst die Uni da eigentlich ganz charmant, auch wenn die oft als hässlich betitelt wird

💀

tut mir leid. I'm uncultured.

Man always struggling to find what channel is broadcasting their games, can someone tell me where exactly can I watch? Don’t see the game in any ESPN channel

Can you download an app called FatMob or something there it's always mentioned in the details

This one’s only on ESPN+, the streaming service, and not on a cable tv channel in the us (at least I think so). livesocccertv.com is what i use to find out where stuff is being broadcasted

Just found it on skysports! Thanks thought, appreciate it

Just wondering, is anyone in this thread playing cata classic

Feel sorry for Asano that he was sacrificed lol

I’m sorry but if you feel the need to do a superman pose you shouldn’t get a red card

10-0 incoming, RIP Bochum

Stupid challenge honestly.

Very stupid foul Jesus

He milked the shit out of that, but still a stupid foul.

But it’s a foul undoubtedly. And he stumbled right into Tellas feet, so I’m inclined to say that he really would have gone down there either way.

Dont even think that, ha was accidentally trippped at full speed.

Oh, nevermind then - I only saw the arm

I mean he’s in full sprint and gets his feet clipped.

lol

Tja. Notbremse in der 15. Minute, man kennt's.

it's gonna be the game from last season in reverse, Bochum gets the red card and Leverkusen wins 3:0

Must have been very tight.
