Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen arrives at the Metropolitano on a winning streak
Bayer Leverkusen, coached by Xabi Alonso, arrives at the Metropolitano in a sweet moment, after a series of consecutive victories in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
The German team, which started the season in a more discreet way, has managed to chain a winning streak that has allowed it to approach the top positions in the German league and qualify for the round of 16 of the maximum continental competition.
Leverkusen is characterized by its great tactical flexibility, with a reference system 3-4-2-1 that can vary depending on the circumstances of the game. Intensity and verticality are two of the main weapons of Xabi Alonso’s team, which has players of great quality such as Florian Wirtz, Patrik Schick or Grimaldo. The Czech striker, author of thirteen goals in the last ten games, will be one of the main threats for Atlético de Madrid.
