Roger Schmidt has warned Europe's elite that Bayer Leverkusen will be fearing nobody ahead of Friday's group-stage Champions League draw.
The Bundesliga outfit overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit to beat Lazio 3-0 at the BayArena on Wednesday night and book their spot in tomorrow's draw.
Famed for their high-intensity pressing under Schmidt, the 48-year-old believes that even the continent's finest will not want to visit Leverkusen this season.
"We are delighted to have made the group stage. This means a lot to the whole team and I think everybody could see how focused we were," he told reporters.
"We play with a high intensity at home and can create a lot of problems for any team in Europe. We are used to this intensity, our opponent often aren't."
Goals from Hakan Calhanoglu, Admir Mehmedi and Karim Bellarabi did the damage.
