Alonso urges Bayer to channel 'Miracle of Istanbul'
Briefly

Xabi Alonso, coach of Bayer Leverkusen, encourages his team to draw motivation from Liverpool's famous Champions League comeback from 3-0 down against AC Milan in 2005. After losing 3-0 to Bayern Munich, Leverkusen is determined to replicate that resurgence at home in the return leg. Despite the challenges, including a key player's suspension and self-inflicted mistakes during the match, Alonso asserts that the team must maintain a fighting spirit and believes that one goal can shift momentum in their favor.
We didn't have good control and made big mistakes. That's obviously very annoying.
It will take time to analyse and go through this result because we have been beaten well.
