Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso has come out to say that the club must use Liverpool’s ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ as motivation for a UCL fightback against Bayern Munich. This is coming after suffering a 3-0 round of 16 defeat against the Bundesliga leaders, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, everything went against his team because of his own team, and everyone at Bayer will need time to analyse the terrible result because they were beaten well.
Xabi, however, added that it is not over until it is over, and a goal in the second leg can change everything.
His words, “Absolutely. It will take time to analyse and go through this result because we have been beaten well. Everything went against us because of us.
But it is not over until it is over and, as you said, anything can happen. The mindset has to be that and if there is a chance, we will fight for it.
We have to fight back. We will learn from this and believe in our return leg. We don’t give up so easily.
Three goals? You never know. One goal can change anything.
A lot went against us today, but that was our own fault. We didn’t have good control and made big mistakes. That’s obviously very annoying.”
WOW.
