UEFA Champions League: Xabi Alonso seems aware of Bayer Leverkusen's unknown challenge ahead of the 2024/25 season. The 42-year-old Spaniard is intensifying his efforts to keep the 2024 German Champion hungry and awake after winning the club's first national league title. Ahead of the German Supercup final this Saturday against VfB Stuttgart on home soil, the 2010 world champion seems everywhere on the training pitch and his voice seems louder than ever.

Aside from increased training efforts, Alonso takes the opportunity to make a stopover at every media microphone and TV camera. He repeatedly sends the message: Be aware! We will be the hunted ones, and we need to stay hungry despite having achieved unprecedented success, reports Xinhua.

"This situation is new for most of us, having to defend something and not lean back and be satisfied with past success," Swiss international, midfielder Granit Xhaka is reporting about a coach on fire. "Therefore, our coach is telling us the story of a team, staying focused and heading for a new chapter," the 31-year-old former Arsenal midfielder said.
