Didn’t anyone tell Florian Wirtz? Couldn’t he have guessed what he was risking with his goal after the fans rushed onto the pitch early after his goal in the 83rd minute? The stadium announcer then asked them to leave the pitch. Otherwise, many in the stadium thought, there would be a threat of the game being abandoned and points being deducted.
From then on, the Leverkusen players demonstrated their qualities in defense and game control and pushed the ball back and forth so as not to provoke the excitable fans into further premature outpourings of joy. And then this Wirtz couldn’t get enough and scored the 5-0. They ran onto the pitch again, the 90 minutes weren’t over yet.
