Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz spoke about tomorrow night’s return leg with Roma.

In his pre-match presser, Wirtz called it “the most important match of the season.”

“It’s the most important match of the season, no doubt about it,” he said.

“We will give everything as a team. We want more out of this semi-final. I am ambitious: I want to get to the final with this team tomorrow. I’m not interested in anything else.”

“We can overturn the result,” he added. “We don’t need miracles.”
