Bayer Leverkusen
Twice, Leverkusen came close to leave Italy with at least a goal during the 1st leg of the semi-finals but Patricio, AS Roma goalkeeper played Robert Andrich’s shot very well while Florian Wirtz put another golden opportunity to waste to make their trip to end with a 1-0 loss. It has been a while since 2002 when Xabi Alonso appeared in the European finals but this time, as manager for Bayer Leverkusen, has to go against his former manager, Jose Mourinho to book a spot for his team in the finals.
Just a goal would make a difference for the hosts, however, Xabi Alonso must be ahead of Jose Mourinho’s plan on the pitch to stay on the right course. Fans have a lot of expectations from Diaby, Wirtz and Frimpong to help their teams to bounce back. Schick will miss this fixture.
AS Roma
Bove scored the only goal of the match during the first leg of the semifinals to set his record for his first goal in the European competition. That was how the youngest midfielder of AS Roma started to put himself in the spotlight in Europe. After having a one goal advantage, Jose Mourinho will be looking for a back-to-back appearance in the European competition finals.
AS Roma never had an easy play in Germany however, the special one has been known for his ability to be resilient to any challenges when he is one step closer into the finals. This gives a lot of hope to their die-hard fans despite their failure to score at least a goal in the recent Serie A match that ended with a goalless tie with Bologna.
