Following Bayer Leverkusen’s 1-0 win against Atlético Madrid, young defender Wendell is confident for the rest of the Champions League tournament.
Leverkusen won the first leg of last 16 tie at home and Wendell believes it is proof the team can go all the way.
“The title? Everything is possible in football as has been proven in the field.”
Even progressing to the quarter finals is still a big ask as Atlético are formidable at home. Wendell realises his team need to keep their focus.
“Everyone said that Atletico Madrid are the favourites, and it’s true, they got to the final last year. We must continue and we can not stop. They will have their fans but our counter attack is rapid. We hope to score a goal there and who knows how to get the qualification and the title.”
