Bayer Leverkusen captain Jonathan Tah expressed confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back from their Europa League final loss to Atalanta. Despite the disappointment of the defeat, Tah believes that Leverkusen can move past it and focus on their upcoming German Cup final against Kaiserslautern.
Manager Xabi Alonso echoed Tah’s sentiments, recognizing Atalanta’s superiority in the final. He emphasized the need for Leverkusen to learn from the loss and channel their pain into a positive outcome in the German Cup final on Saturday. Midfielder Granit Xhaka focused on the team’s determination to make amends for their loss in the final. He acknowledged the bitterness of defeat but remained optimistic about their chances in the upcoming match, highlighting the team’s resilience and spirit.
Atalanta’s 3-0 victory ended Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak of 51 games and dashed their hopes of winning the treble this season. However, with the Bundesliga title already secured, Leverkusen has a chance to claim the domestic double for the first time in their history.
