2023-04-20 16:20:23

Next round in the Europa League! The quarter-finals are coming up.

Bayer Leverkusen is the last German representative in the competition. Can Xabi Alonso’s (41) side beat Union Saint-Gilloise of Belgium 1-1 in the first leg and advance to the semi-finals today?

In last Thursday’s first leg, Saint-Gilloise proved an awkward opponent. It was thanks to Florian Wirtz (19) that Bayer can travel to Belgium with a reasonable starting position. The offensive star scored the equalizer shortly before the end.

Leverkusen, Juventus & Manchester United

All four quarter-final second legs in the Europa League are scheduled for today at 9 p.m.

Union Saint-Gilloise – Bayer Leverkusen (first leg 1:1)
Sporting Lisbon – Juventus Turin (first leg 2: 2)
Sevilla FC – Manchester United (first leg 0-1)
AS Roma – Feyenoord Rotterdam (first leg 0-1)

Good news for all football fans: RTL is showing the Werkself game live on free TV. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, Leverkusen have every chance of reaching the semi-finals. But beware! Union Berlin also traveled to Saint-Gilles in the round of 16 after a home draw in the second leg and suffered badly (0:3).

Bayer played 0-0 in Wolfsburg at the weekend. The line-up was already dominated by the cracker on Thursday. Coach Alonso did without defense boss Jonathan Tah and Florian Wirtz and Amine Adli, who have been brilliant in recent weeks.

“It wasn’t a highlight game. But we are in the middle of a very intense time at the moment,” said Leverkusen captain Lukas Hradecky in an interview after the zero number: “The chances were there, of course I would have liked to win. But Koen Casteels held up well, it’s a good result.”
