No Bayer Leverkusen fan would ever forget the 2023-24 Football Season. The season wherein thy lifted their first Bundesliga Title as well as their second DFB Pokal. Furthermore it is pertinent to note that they went unbeaten throughout their domestic season. A feat. which no German Team has ever achieved. However, the question which arose now was that will they continue the form next season. Afterall in order to qualify as a great team you need to do this on a consistent basis. For the time being it all looks good as Bayer Leverkusen have continued their winning run and have won their first ever DFL SuperCup.
The German Champions were facing VfB Stuttgart in their home ground. So there was a proper support for Bayer Leverkusen. Furthermore they started off pretty well as they scored the opening goal in just 11 minutes. However, Stuttgart made a strong comeback to the game and at one stage were leading 2-1. Apart from that Bayer Leverkusen were a man down for most part of the game as Martin Terrier received a red card in the 37th minute. So it was getting tough for the home side.
However, just like the previous season, Leverkusen equalized in the nick of time and the game went into penalties. Eventually in the penalty shootout they got better of Stuttgart and won the game (4)-(3) in penalties. It was a hard fought game wherein both team gave their best. Both sides played attacking football and we even witnessed some heated moments. Overall it was a Blockbuster.
It is now one more title for Leverkusen. However, it will not be an easy path ahead. The Defending Champions have to play their best as the Bavarians will be eying for a comeback.
The German Season has Begun.
