Nathan Tella says Bayer Leverkusen can be satisfied with their performance in the UEFA Champions League clash with Sparta Prague.
Xabi Alonso’s side defeated their guests 2-0 at the Bay Arena on Wednesday night.
The comfortable victory confirmed the Bundesliga champions place in the Round of 16.
“We had to try a lot. We knew that it was in our hands, if we won, we will be in the top eight. I felt that we played good and created a lot of chances,” the Nigerian told the club’s official website.
Tella scored Leverkusen’s second goal on the night, his maiden strike in the UEFA Champions League.
The winger also missed a number of scoring chances in the game.
“It’s frustrating that I missed more than I probably should have but I scored and we won and we’ve qualified, that’s the main thing,” he added.
