Bayer Leverkusen had to wait almost three years for their next appearance in the premier class. Now the time has come - in the middle of the crisis. After all, the European Cup distracts from everyday life. A win in Bruges seems mandatory.
Bruges (dpa / lnw) - Bayer Leverkusen played their last Champions League game before the corona pandemic, today (9 p.m. / DAZN) it's that time again after 1001 days. The Werkself will start the new season in the European premier class with Belgian soccer champions FC Brugge, who are on paper the easiest opponents in Group B.
With five defeats in six competitive games, Leverkusen have played a disappointing season so far. In Belgium, however, the foundation stone for wintering in the European Cup is to be laid. England international Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was loaned out from Chelsea last week, could make his starting XI debut.
