Alonso, who has been in the orbit of the rojiblanco team several times, appreciated the game. “When I saw their line-up for the first game, I said they were going to go on offense. Then, with the way they play and the way we play, we force them to defend a little more and take control of possession. It was difficult for them, “said the player, in an interview with the club's official media, regarding the first leg.
“Now, they have to go for the game and I'm sure it will be even more difficult than in the first leg. We cannot have too much confidence. It is very important to bear in mind that only half of the work has been done ”, warned the Spanish international.

That is the main reason. We play every three days, without fans, it's a bit weird. If you look at the best teams in SpainThey have great teams, great players. In the last five or ten years, how many finalists in the Champions
League were they Spanish? It cannot change so quickly from one year to the next, ”he explained.
