Alonso emphasized, "It was an important test for us to not concede a second goal after going 2-0 up," reflecting the team's focus on defensive stability.
He mentioned, "Hoffenheim made it difficult for us in the 10 minutes before the break but we came back after half-time to show sufficient energy." This underscores their resilience.
