West Ham United's path in the Europa League quarter-finals has been set, pitting them against Bayer Leverkusen, a team they have history with.
West Ham have been slated to face Bayer Leverkusen in the initial leg of the Europa League last eight tie, scheduled for Thursday, April 11th.
For West Ham supporters, memories linger of their team's 4-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in a pre-season match last summer, a result that stung deeply.
In the aftermath of that resounding loss, Bayer Leverkusen's media team didn't hold back, taunting West Ham with a pointed question: "Are we Massive now, West Ham?" accompanied by a graphic displaying the final score.
Now, as West Ham gears up for their Europa League encounter with Leverkusen, they are fueled by a desire for Lyon-esque retaliation.
David Moyes, West Ham's manager, is banking on his squad replicating the stellar performance they exhibited against Leverkusen's Bundesliga counterparts, Freiburg, where they clinched a remarkable 5-0 victory in European competition just days ago.
Despite Leverkusen's formidable standing this season, leading the Bundesliga title race with a commanding 10-point margin and showcasing resilience in their recent Europa League match against Qarabag, where they staged a comeback from a two-goal deficit to secure a 3-2 victory, West Ham is poised to rise to the challenge and seek redemption in their upcoming showdown.
