Bayer Leverkusen currently sit in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with Afonso Moreira remaining a consistent starter in the team. Patrik Schick has been the main driving force behind the team's goals, ensuring the German side's attacking productivity.
The team returns to a European competition they have already won in the past. In 1988, Leverkusen conquered the UEFA Cup, which remains the club's most significant international achievement to this day.
This return to the European competition represents an opportunity for the German club to try and repeat the success achieved more than three decades ago. With the combination of Afonso Moreira's consistency and Schick's goal-scoring ability, Leverkusen are looking to make a competitive campaign in the UEFA Europa League.
