In a nod to his past, Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso reflected on a challenging match, where his team faced a 3-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Drawing inspiration from Liverpool's famous 'miracle of Istanbul' comeback in 2005, in which he played a key role, Alonso showed optimism about his team's potential for a similar turnaround. He emphasized the importance of belief, stating that they will analyze the game, learn from it, and carry a fighting mindset into the second leg of the tie.
"It will take time to analyze and go through this result because we have been beaten well. Everything went against us because of us."
"The mindset has to be that and if there is a chance, we will fight for it. We have to fight back."
