“Second legs are always dangerous, so the result from last week is irrelevant. A goal from Roma tomorrow can immediately change the game. We need to go into the match with the highest concentration again,” Alonso stressed to the media.
The Spaniard is expecting a “top spectacle with a great atmosphere. I remember the support from last year. We’ll need that sort of energy from the fans again tomorrow.” He was referring to last season’s semi-final second leg where Leverkusen bowed out after a 0-0 draw despite having 23 shots to one at the BayArena. “We obviously haven’t forgotten what happened last year, the pain we felt. We hope we can celebrate this time,” Alonso added.
Tapsoba also stressed a similar point when he took to the podium: “We really suffered last year. It’s our dream to reach the final this time. We’ll give our all.” The centre-back believes that one difference between then and now is the maturity of the team: “We’re playing in a very mature way this season. We always try to play with control. We’ve managed that well so far. I’m really very happy to be part of this team.”

The defender also gave an insight into how the team will approach tomorrow’s encounter: “We’ll try to play to our own rhythm. It’ll be a tough game, but we like games like this. We take every match and every opponent very seriously.”
Alonso also confirmed that he has a full squad at his disposal for Thursday, including Florian Wirtz and Alejandro Grimaldo after the pair were rested in the 5-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Whoever does take to the pitch will do so in front of a packed BayArena, including 1,800 visiting supporters from Italy.

Bayer 04 and main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer have shown great commitment to the community as the sale of custom-designed T-shirts for charity in the Fanwelt as part of the “BarmeniaGothaer Brings Joy campaign raised a good €5,000. Bayer 04 matched this sum with an equal contribution. As a result, a total of €10,000 was presented to Edmond Tapsoba for his foundation ahead of the home match against Hamburg. The foundation supports people facing challenging daily circumstances in his home country of Burkina Faso.
