Head coach of Bayer Xabi Alonso spoke about the team’s readiness for the first match of the Champions League Round of 16 against Bayern.
— We are on the move and we want to challenge Bayern again. But we also know that the Champions League and the Bundesliga are two completely different stories. The Champions League has more emotions. So the most important thing is to control them, as it only takes five minutes to fail, and you are out of the tournament.
We know each other very well, and we recently met. We need to try not to lose hope due to bad episodes that may come our way. Bayern is the best team in Germany, but the best don’t always win. So we’ll see, — said Xabi ahead of the game in Munich.
