Following another crucial 2-0 victory against Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso emphasized that the win was far more than just three points. He described it as a vital success that provides a massive boost to the team, both in their on-field confidence and their overall team spirit.
The victory restored Leverkusen’s dominant 10-point lead over rivals Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and extended their incredible unbeaten streak to 36 matches across all competitions.
Alonso praised his team’s maturity and patience, especially after a tough midweek Europa League trip. Despite Wolfsburg going down to ten men early in the game, Leverkusen had to work hard to break down their deep-lying defense.
“It was a game that required patience, but the team showed great mentality and didn’t get frustrated,” Alonso explained in his post-match comments. “This is a victory that strengthens us immensely, not just in our footballing strategy but also in our morale.”
He highlighted the team’s control and discipline, pointing to Nathan Tella’s crucial first-half goal and Florian Wirtz’s late strike as rewards for their persistence. With the Bundesliga race heating up and a critical Europa League return leg against Qarabağ just days away, Alonso made it clear that his squad remains fully focused and hungry for more success. This win, he feels, is the perfect fuel for the challenges that lie ahead.
