‘Huge task for West Ham tonight’
A huge task for West Ham tonight against the 41-game unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen. The locals are certainly confident – one fans was telling me on the train that he’s already booked his hotel for Dublin, where the final will be played.
They need just one more win to secure the Bundesliga title and tickets for their final game of the season are allegedly going for 1,000 Euros. A buoyant atmosphere in these parts.

Jurgen Klopp: ‘We expect a super-organised opponent’
We expect a super-organised opponent, so that’s what we expect. An experienced opponent as well. It means two legs, [the] first [one] away is a clear advantage, what everybody says. It just will be interesting. We are not the same [from] three-and-a-half years ago.
We are definitely different and the opponent probably as well. But in these three-and-a-half years I saw 1,500 games probably. I saw Atalanta playing but I cannot really compare it with three-and-a-half years ago because that’s not very prominent in my mind. But it will be tricky for both.

Unai Emery: ‘Europe is always difficult’
Firstly, we must always respect the competition and Europe is always difficult. It is good to have experiences in this competition.
Sometimes we have difficult moments like against Legia Warsaw, when we won against Zrinjski in the last minute. We played two legs against Ajax and that was a very good experience for us.
We drew there, didn’t deserve more and at home we played really being consistent and with personality, seriously. We won. Lille is the same. Respect the competition and respect the opponent.

Xabi Alonso: ‘We know what West Ham can do’
We know what West Ham can do. They have experience in Europe – last season they were champions of the Conference League.
We want to go further and starting tomorrow and then next week in London, we have to play to our own game. We are ready.
