Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso: "Atalanta toughest opponent d'Europe"

Soì Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso spoke during the Uefa Media Day a week ahead of the Europa League final in Dublin against Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.

"Atalanta è a top team, the toughest opponent in Europe, with a super coach. We will have to be at our best to have a chance, becauseé for me they are a unique team right now”.

“They have had the same coach for several years, they have players who have been training with him for years and they have a clear idea of how to play soccer. They have had several good seasons but this maybe è their best season: there are many things to learn from a team like this".

Having established the strength of the opponent, the Leverkusen coach stresses that "after the Meisterschale I do not choose, I want to win everything whether Europa League or German Cup. Of course having already won the Bundesliga allows us to have a clear head for the two finals next week". "The first title as coach è was the Bundesliga and è super but one in Europe would be even moreù special", concludes Alonso.
