'Magic Moment' To Inspire Bayern Munich Chase, Says Bayer Leverkusen Boss Xabi Alonso
Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said Sunday's last-gasp 4-3 win over Stuttgart would inspire his side's bid to chase down league leaders Bayern Munich. Patrick Schick scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time in Stuttgart, the only moment Leverkusen led in the match. The win brought the defending champions to within six points of Bayern, who drew 1-1 at Union Berlin on Saturday, with eight games to play. After guiding Leverkusen to a debut Bundesliga title in 2023-24, Alonso said the impact of the dramatic victory against Stuttgart, last season's runners up, would drive his side.
