Xabi Alonso still tames title talk! The time for celebration is not yet over. What did the Bayer coach have to say about the game against Union?

Bayer Leverkusen is very close to winning the first championship in the club’s history. However, the German club still has a few games to play before the end of the season and needs to focus on those. What did Bayer coach Xabi Alonso say ahead of the clash with Union Berlin?

Twenty-seven games played in the current Bundesliga season and Leverkusen still haven’t known the bitterness of defeat. Bayer is deservedly going for the first championship title in the club’s history.

This staggering statistic is further enhanced by the fact that Xabi Alonso’s charges have only drawn four times out of the aforementioned portion of matches. The rest? All wins. Leverkusen have conceded 19 goals so far this season, the fewest in the league.

So it’s not just the club’s members, but also its fans who are having a dream season, plain and simple. But Bayer is not only doing well in the Bundesliga. A few days ago, Bayern beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 4-0 and deservedly reached the final of the domestic cup.

Leverkusen are also still active in the European cups, as they face West Ham in the Europa League quarter-finals. It will be an interesting match for Czech football fans, as a quartet of Czech national team players will play against each other.

In any case, Xabi Alonso’s team will play the 28th round of the Bundesliga on Saturday at Union Berlin. What did the Leverkusen coach say before the game?

Leverkusen and the title? Xabi Alonso is still cautious…

“We have a great chance to win the title, but there are still seven games left in the season. We will go to Berlin with our best team and hope to get one step closer to the title again. We are in a position where we are within reach, but it’s not over yet,” said Xabi Alonso at the press conference.

“We will celebrate when the time is right. The time to celebrate is not here yet. It’s early, we’re only in April. We’re in a good position, we have the German Cup final to come, but we won’t talk too much about it. We don’t even want to talk about the title, just about our closest rivals,” added the Leverkusen coach.
