Under Xabi Alonso’s leadership, Leverkusen’s team demonstrated their attacking ability by hitting the woodwork twice and wasting other good chances that might have changed the result.
The defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen, were only able to salvage one point from the match despite controlling significant portions of it.
Leverkusen was especially disappointed by the outcome because it represented a lost chance to get closer to Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
Nonetheless, Tella highlighted the team’s accomplishments in an interview with Bayer Leverkusen’s official website, expressing pride in their work.
“It’s frustrating not to secure the three points,” he remarked. “But as a collective, we can take pride in how we played. I genuinely believe we were the superior side throughout the match.
“Had we managed to convert one of our numerous chances into a goal, it would have emphasized our dominance. Unfortunately, football can be cruel, and some games simply end without the desired result.”
Meanwhile, La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid continue to keep a close eye on Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
Earlier this year, Leicester turned down multiple offers for the Nigerian international during the winter transfer window as they focused on their fight for survival in the Premier League.
Reports from Caught Offside indicate that Atletico Madrid is poised to make another attempt to secure Ndidi’s services after the current season.
The midfielder has also drawn interest from other notable clubs, including Spanish side Real Betis and Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco, highlighting his growing appeal in European football.
After overcoming a hamstring injury that sidelined him for nearly two months, Ndidi has recently returned to action for Leicester City.
The 28-year-old joined the Foxes from Belgian Pro League team KRC Genk in January 2016 and solidified his commitment to the club by signing a new three-year contract with the former Premier League champions last summer, indicating his desire to continue contributing to the club’s ambitions.
