Bayer Leverkusen's record-breaking run to their first Bundesliga title was no fluke, with a 16-month plan coming to fruition.
Florian Wirtz scored a goal in each half as Bayer Leverkusen thrashed Fortuna Duesseldorf 4-0 at home on Wednesday to reach the German Cup final for the fifth time. Leverkusen have gained a reputation for stealing last-gasp wins this season but were in total control from start to finish against their second-division opponents. Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring seven minutes in, with Amine Adli adding another on the 20-minute mark. With five goals, Adli is the top scorer in the cup this season.
In the end it was a defeat; a performance that didn't have the same drive which was evident against Belgium.

Patrik Schick scored two goals in stoppage time to rescue Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten run and their dreams of a remarkable treble with a 3-2 (5-4 aggregate) home win over Qarabag in their Europa League last-16 second leg on Thursday. The win keeps Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen unbeaten after 37 matches this season, sending them through to the last eight of the Europa League. With Leverkusen 2-1 down on the 90-minute mark, the Czech striker -- who scored in stoppage time in the first leg to level the scores at 2-2 -- scored in the 93rd and 98th minutes to turn the game on its head.
BERLIN : Bayern Munich may trail Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points with 10 games left in the Bundesliga this season but they are not yet ready to throw in the towel, having been boosted by their midweek Champions League success.
Bayer Leverkusen sedang unggul 10 poin dari Bayern Munich dan duduk nyaman di puncak klasemen Liga Jerman musim ini. Namun Granit Xhaka mengingatkan rekan setimnya agar tak jemawa. Jangan sampai terpeleset lalu menyesal kemudian.
Bayer Leverkusen tightened their grip at the top of the Bundesliga with a 2-0 victory over 10-man Cologne to pull 10 points clear of Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso's side were handed the opportunity to stretch their lead over Bayern after the serial champions faltered again, only managing a 2-2 draw at Freiburg on Friday night. "Ten points are a lot," said Leverkusen's Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka. "But it's not over yet. There are still many, many more points to play for and as long as it's not decided mathematically, we cannot say that it's done. We have to keep working and pick up a few more points as a team."
