After only 5 of the last 18 points, Bayer Leverkusen has fallen to 12th place in the table. The relay on the bench, with the replacement of Roger Schmidt by former Realist Tayfun Korkut, has not had the expected results, falling unmolested against Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, adding a pair of ties ( All at home, 1-1 against Werder Bremen, 3-3 against Wolfsburg and 0-0 against Bayern Munich), a home victory of the colista, Darmstadt (0-2), and a defeat in their defeat at Freiburg The last day.

In addition, the team remained alive in the Europa League after having eliminated Borussia M'Gladbach in a vibrant eliminator, resolved by the double value of the goals in the opposite field. The elimination at the hands of the Dutch Ajax seems to have left to the Miners, who fell before the colista, Darmstadt (2-1) and tied at home last weekend against RB Leipzig.

The quoted Markus Weinzierl took over the mining team this season, in which his budget exceeds 212 million euros.
