First of all Raphael, tell us about Bayer Leverkusen’s start to the season and their form at the BayArena...
Raphael: “They’ve had a poor start by their standards, including a defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach in their first league game. They have stabilised since then and had won three out of four in the league before losing against Werder Bremen on Saturday. After they beat Borussia Dortmund, Roger Schmidt said they were getting to where they want to be and it was about maintaining that level.
“They are really good at home and generate quite a good atmosphere, especially in Europe, in what is a fairly small stadium. They can really turn it on at home, but they can be a bit fragile away. Having said that, the way they let CSKA Moscow back into the game (a 2-2 draw after leading 2-0 at home in MD1) will be a huge disappointment for them. They had total control and somehow threw it away. There is a sense that they can find ways of not winning, that’s the cliché if you like about Leverkusen, but there is an element of truth in it.”
