Leverkusen will face AS Roma in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final tie at the BayArena on Thursday (today).

Xabi Alonso’s side extended their unbeaten run to 48 games across all competitions following last Sunday’s 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

 

The victory saw Die Werkself equal Benfica’s longstanding European record set between December 1963 and February 1965.

A win against AS Roma will see them set a new record for the longest unbeaten streak by a European club.

Leverkusen are looking to win the Europa League crown for the second time in history after their success in the 1987/88 season.
