Leverkusen (AP) - The Argentine national soccer player Ezequiel Palacios believes Bayer 04 Leverkusen still has a chance at the Champions League despite six points behind fourth place with only three games left.

“As long as the Champions League is mathematically possible, we will fight.

With this squad we can do it, "said the 22-year-old in a media round on Wednesday:" If we miss the Champions League, it would be a disappointment.

Bayer Leverkusen is one of the largest clubs in Germany and belongs to the Champions League. "

Palacios himself is the winner of the change of coach.

While his predecessor Peter Bosz did not replace him eight times after a long injury, he was in the starting line-up in all five games under Hannes Wolf.

Wolf told him, "I should show why I'm a regular at Argentina," said Palacios.

Bosz didn't explain to him why he wasn't playing, “but I've come to terms with it”.
