Everyone wants to beat Leverkusen, says Alonso

Bayer Leverkusen have their sights set on stretching their extraordinary 47-match unbeaten run this season but it will no easy task, manager Xabi Alonso said on Friday. The newly-crowned Bundesliga champions moved a step closer to a treble after beating AS Roma 2-0 away in their Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday and they have reached the German Cup final against Kaiserslautern. Leverkusen, who ended Bayern Munich's 11-year stranglehold on the Bundesliga title to secure their first trophy since 1993, travel to sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
