Bayer Leverkusen's manager, Xabi Alonso, boasts an impressive unbeaten record against Bayern Munich, with three wins and three draws since taking charge, but he emphasizes that past results do not matter in their upcoming Champions League match. Despite Leverkusen's success, they trail Bayern by eight points in the Bundesliga and face a historically strong opponent with six European Cups. Alonso acknowledges the intensity of Champions League matches compared to domestic ones, stating, 'Tomorrow is the next game. It's always the most important.'
