Xabi Alonso addressed an altercation between Victor Boniface and Emiliano Buendia during a recent Bundesliga match. Despite Boniface's frustration after an on-field collision, Alonso maintained that the incident was minor. He confirmed Boniface is an important player, having scored 10 goals this season, and will continue to contribute despite the competition from Patrick Schick. Leverkusen, following a convincing 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, remains in contention for the Bundesliga title and prepares for a crucial Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich.
Alonso stated, "I spoke with Boni. I don't have all the details, but Boni wanted to shoot, it can happen. We don't want to make something big out of something so small."
Boniface has 10 goals in all competitions but has largely played a back-up role due to the form of Patrick Schick, who has 22 goals.
