Bayer Leverkusen get their UEFA Champions League campaign underway against Feyenoord on Thursday and come into this year's new-look edition as German titleholders. Xabi Alonso's side dislodged Bayern Munchen from the summit and will open their quest against last year's Eredivisie runners-up at De Kuip in one of the early kick-offs.

After a resounding Champions League win over Dutch side Feyenoord in midweek, Bayer Leverkusen are determined to keep the momentum rolling when they face VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, coach Xabi Alonso said.
