Athletistic / Football. Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso shared his emotions after his team reached the Europa League final. The day before, on May 9, the German club drew in the home match of the 1/2 finals of the tournament against Roma (2:2, 4:2 – aggregate).
“We are happy to reach the final of the Europa League. We now have two finals in one week. We showed a lot of character today. After the second goal we conceded, I looked in the eyes of my players and I saw that they wanted more.
We still have a chance to win the treble. And my players deserve it! » The UEFA press service quotes Xabi Alonso.
In the Europa League final, Bayer will face Italian Atalanta. The decisive match of the tournament will take place on May 22 in Dublin (Ireland).
Note that previously the “pharmacists” became the champions of Germany sooner than expected. In the National Cup final, Xabi Alonso’s team will face Kaiserslautern, representing the second Bundesliga.
