Minute-by-minute report: The new German champions arrive in London with a 2-0 first-leg lead. Join Daniel Harris for all the action

Bundesliga champions, DFB-Pokal finalists and an overall record of Played 43 Won 38 Drawn 5 Lost 0; somehow, Xabi Alonso has magicked Neverkusen into Everkusen and his squad stand on the cusp of one of football’s all-time great seasons. In a sense they’ve already started next term too, retaining the services of their manager despite stiff competition for them.

So, with that decided and the pressure of a title race converted into ecstatic relief, they arrive in London looking and feeling impregnable. Not so fast. While it’s true that Victor Boniface’s injury-time goal which turned 1-0 into 2-0 seemed like the decisive moment of this tie, West Ham have won every European home game across the last two seasons and, like almost every Premier League side, have the artillery to hurt any opponent – if they can get enough of the ball.
