Xabi Alonso is confident Bayer Leverkusen will not suffer from a hangover when looking to maintain their treble charge by pressing home their advantage over West Ham in the Europa League.
Leverkusen, who are unbeaten in 43 matches in all competitions this season, celebrated wildly after winning the first Bundesliga title in the club’s history on Sunday. Alonso’s players downed giant glasses of beer after their emphatic 5-0 win over Werder Bremen and there have been suggestions that they could be off their game in the second leg of their quarter-final against West Ham, who lost 2-0 in Germany last week.
