Bayer Leverkusen’s coach is optimistic about his team’s chances of staging a remarkable comeback against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, despite being 3-0 down from the first leg and losing Florian Wirtz to injury.
Wirtz, who has been a key player for Leverkusen this season, suffered an ankle tendon injury and will be sidelined for several weeks. Despite the setback, the team is gearing up for the return leg with a positive mindset.
Alonso emphasized that his team has nothing to lose against the formidable Bayern Munich and expressed belief in the possibility of creating something extraordinary from a challenging situation. He drew inspiration from his past experiences, particularly the 2005 Champions League final, where he helped Liverpool overcome a 3-0 deficit to AC Milan.
The coach stressed the importance of playing with passion, heart, aggression, and intelligence in the upcoming match, viewing it as a unique opportunity that could leave a lasting impact on the team’s history.
Leverkusen’s center-back also echoed the sentiment of belief within the team, highlighting the potential to make history in the face of adversity. The team is prepared to give their all and seize the moment in what promises to be a decisive encounter.
