Senior-junior confrontation

Match review

Remember, last season, coach Jose Mourinho won the C3 Cup with Roma. This season, the Portuguese strategist and his students are on the verge of winning the C2 Cup when they reach the semi-finals. In theory, the Serie A representative is still at risk of stopping because they have 4 consecutive matches without a win, with 2 draws and 2 losses.

The hope of qualifying for the Champions League by finishing in the Top 4 of Serie A this season is increasingly distant as the gap with Inter Milan is already 5 points. Therefore, winning the Europa League is probably a more realistic hope for Roma at the moment. Therefore, a home win against Leverkusen is almost a must.

On the other side of the pitch, in his first season as head coach of a top team, Xabi Alonso immediately proved his ability when he led Leverkusen to the semi-finals of the C2 Cup and competed for a place in the Top 6 Bundesliga. Notably, the German team also lost only once, drew 4 and won 10 out of 15 matches in all competitions.

The upcoming clash between Roma and Leverkusen promises to bring 90 minutes of tension between senior Jose Mourinho and junior Xabi Alonso.
