Bayer Leverkusen: A Season of Ups and Downs

From Roman Week Triumph to European Heartbreak

Bayer Leverkusen's 2021/22 season has been a tale of contrasting fortunes, with highs and lows aplenty. The high point came in early March when they celebrated their Roman Week success with a 2-1 victory over Atalanta. The triumph propelled them to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they ultimately fell to Atalanta on away goals.

On the domestic front, Leverkusen finished third in the Bundesliga, securing a spot in next season's Champions League. However, their performances in the Pokal left much to be desired, with an early exit to Karlsruher SC in the second round. Despite the mixed results, Leverkusen's young and talented squad has shown promise.

Heading into the 2022/23 season, expectations will be high for Leverkusen. With a strong core of players and a capable manager in Gerardo Seoane, they will aim to challenge for both domestic and European honors.
