Bayern Leverkusen players were easily motivated to give their best as they grabbed a 2-0 win at AS Roma in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday but remain cautious ahead of the return leg, coach Xabi Alonso said. Goals by Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich gave the newly-crowned Bundesliga champions a two-goal advantage over last season's runners-up Roma, extending their unbeaten run to 47 matches in all competitions. "We made good transitions once they were open and we had enough spaces, the commitment and the discipline from the players have been fantastic," Alonso said.
