However, he is enthusiastic about the rivalry's growth and eager to challenge Alonso's side, emphasizing the competitiveness of this matchup as they look to advance beyond the round of 16 to potentially face top European teams.
Xabi Alonso and Vincent Kompany will lock horns again as Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen meet twice more in the Champions League round of 16.
Kompany aims to overcome Leverkusen, expressing excitement for the emerging rivalry, calling it a 'nice rivalry with the two best teams in Germany.'
