In addition to gaining revenge for losing to Roma at this stage 12 months ago, Leverkusen took a giant stride towards meeting either Marseille or Atalanta BC in the Europa League final by running out 2-0 winners at Stadio Olimpico.
Having withstood a scare when Romelu Lukaku struck the crossbar, Die Werkself produced several chances themselves, so goals from star man Florian Wirtz and midfield engine Robert Andrich were just reward for their impressive performance in an intimidating arena.
Following a ninth win from 11 Europa League fixtures this season, the Bundesliga winners are now only 90 minutes away from booking their place in Dublin later this month, and a historic treble remains very much on the cards for a team that simply refuses to be beaten.
Sensationally crowned German champions with several weeks to spare, Leverkusen have recently produced several late goals to keep their proud undefeated streak intact, but they easily extended that run to 48 games with a 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday
