Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka joked on Tuesday the newly-crowned German champions are ‘drink blood’ to manage their nerves ahead of their UEFA Europa League final against Atalanta.
Leverkusen, unbeaten all season, finally got their hands on their first-ever Bundesliga title on Saturday – after sealing it in April – and could find themselves lifting three trophies in eight days.
Xabi Alonso’s side, who haven’t tasted defeat in 51-games in all competitions, have won the competition once before, in the 1987-88 season when it was known as the UEFA Cup.
Standing in their way at the Dublin Arena is Italian club Atalanta who are hoping to end a 61-year wait for a trophy.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side lost the Italian Cup final against Juventus last week, and captain Marten De Roon who suffered an injury and will watch Wednesday’s final just from the bench.
Following the showpiece, Leverkusen then head to Berlin’s Olympiastadion for a DFB-Pokal final against FC Kaiserslautern, where they could complete an unprecedented invincible treble.
