…TO THE FANS

What happened after the game against Bremen was a great moment and a brilliant celebration. But tomorrow is different: We want to receive the Schale on the pitch and we would like to do a lap of honour around the stadium as a team for the fans. Therefore, we ask all fans not to invade the pitch.

…UNDEFEATED

We know there could be a historic moment tomorrow. The match is very important, it’s also a sort of the final. A win would see Bayer 04 also being only the second club in the history of the league to reach the 90 point mark. I’m very happy with the team. We haven’t had many free weeks in the last two months. The mood and the energy in the dressing room are good. I really like the atmosphere at the moment. Everybody has great anticipation and ambition

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We have to be fully focused going into the game. They want to end the season well. Augsburg have two strikers who have a good connection to each other. That’s very dangerous.

…WIRTZ SET TO FACE AUGSBURG

We’re taking it game by game. From Monday we will fully focus on the next match. He’s trained well over the past few days and he feels better. He hasn’t got any pain, that’s the most important thing. He could play from the start.

...ABOUT THE MATCH

Nobody expects anything from us in Leverkusen but t I believe in us – and it’s important that the team believes too.

...INJURY REPORT

Kevin Mbabu one-game suspension alongside Finn Dahmen, Robert Gumny, Elvis Rexhbecaj and Fredrik Jensen are injured for the final Bundesliga matchday. Additionally, Ruben Vargas, Kristijan Jakić, Pep Biel und Iago haven’t been able to participate fully in training this week.
