Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has called on his Bayer Leverkusen team to summon upon the "Miracle of Istanbul" as they look to recover a 3-0 deficit against Bayern Munich.

As Liverpool won 1-0 against PSG in the Champions League this week, Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen were heavily beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich.

A few minutes into the second half, it was clear that Bayer Leverkusen were being outplayed by Bayern Munich. Most meaningful statistics tilted in Bayern's favor, especially in attack – they had outshot Leverkusen nine to three by that time and were already up a goal.
