Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has broken his silence after Bayer Leverkusen’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in their ongoing UEFA Champions League campaign.
The loss marked another difficult moment for the Bay Arena side, who have struggled to find the net since their last victory against SV Elversberg in the DFB Pokal.
The crushing defeat to Liverpool is one of the most significant setbacks for Xabi Alonso’s squad this season, following a similar margin against Arsenal during a pre-season friendly in August.
With these challenges, Leverkusen’s season appears off to a rough start, and Alonso’s men are eager to turn things around.
In a message to fans on social media, Boniface shared images from the game along with a brief but resilient caption: “One of those games, see you on Saturday.” The Nigerian international appears determined to move past the defeat and focus on upcoming fixtures.
Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso expressed his disappointment after the match, acknowledging that the result was a tough blow for his players, Boniface included.
“The players feel it. It’s much harder to describe in words than what you feel on the pitch,” Alonso said, emphasising the emotional weight of the defeat on the team.
As Bayer Leverkusen prepare for their next Bundesliga clash against VfL Bochum on Saturday, Boniface and his teammates will be looking to regain their form and confidence.
Boniface, who is a key figure in the attack, aims to get back on the scoresheet and help his team bounce back in what has been a challenging start to their 2024-25 season campaign.
