Xabi Alonso let Leverkusen plays very attacking in this season but he is cleverly to command his players to calm down and reduce playing intensity at a right time within each match if necessary. I believe Xabi Alonso will not let his players go playing seriously attacking and lose control of their minds. It's risky as Atalanta shown in their first quarter final match with Liverpool, that how dangerous they are in counter attacking.
The final is always a special match, the mood for it must also be certain, it is important in what mood the team approaches this match. Bayer have been very good throughout the season, but they haven't played in any final yet, I don't know if that matters. Atalanta also had a good end to the season, but they were unable to beat a weakened Juventus in the Italian Cup final, maybe it's not significantly. Today we will find out who will become the champion.
