The head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso, commented on the crushing defeat in the 4th round of the group stage of the Champions League against Liverpool.
— Of course, you can come to Anfield and lose. Yes, losing by such a score is very unpleasant, but we faced an incredible team that punished us for our mistakes. We planned to come here and put up a fight; up to a certain point, we played well, but then we lost concentration for 20 minutes and conceded. We just have to accept the result and congratulate Liverpool,” said Xabi Alonso.
