Bayer Leverkusen have quickly put Wednesday’s Europa League final defeat to Atalanta behind them, says coach Xabi Alonso.
The freshly-crowned Bundesliga champions can clinch a first-ever domestic double with victory over second-division Kaiserslautern in Saturday’s final.
Leverkusen had the opportunity to complete an unbeaten treble but saw their 51-match unbeaten run in all competitions ended in the Europa League final on Wednesday when they lost 3-0 to Atalanta.
Now, they have the opportunity to cap an already memorable season by winning the DFB-Pokal.
“It was a long way to get here, since August last year,” said Alonso of Saturday’s showcase at Berlin’s Olympic stadium.
