The student could not with the teacher. He could not with him because that teacher, once again, raised a concrete wall that prevented Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen from scoring that goal that would have allowed him to fight for the final after the 1-0 first leg at the Olímpico in Rome. But José Mourinho’s pupils did not mess up at any time at the BayArena and signed a goalless draw which led him to the very final in Budapest, leaving behind the man who was his faithful squire during his time at Real Madrid.
- Germany
The clash at the BayArena started as expected. Mourinho’s men chose to park the bus in front of the frame protected by Rui Patrício and Xabi Alonso’s pupils were from the beginning for the goal to put them back in the tie. The Germans were better. And they approached again and again, yes, without finding that last pass to collapse the Roman defensive wall. The closest was Diaby in a great shot that crashed into the crossbar. He wanted Bayer, but he couldn’t against a Roma in which Spinazzola had to leave injured.
- Italy
Things did not change in the second 45 minutes. wirtzthat player who usually brings magic to the set of aspirins, he couldn’t breathe since he had at least two Roma footballers on top of him at all times. Even so, the Bundesliga team did not give up. He continued to his. And Roma to their own, looking to scratch seconds off the clock in every action that allowed it. And Xabi went for it all. Hlozek for Palacios and Adli for Bakker. Pure hit. But Azmoun had it. His shot from the penalty spot grazed the left post. More from Xabi. Amiri by Tah. All the meat on the spit. But the Mou wall remained standing. And I take yours to the final.
