The Bayer Leverkusen Post
Match24 Oct 2026
Malik Tillman leads the rout of VfB Stuttgart
3‑0, and Malik Tillman took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Bayer Leverkusen tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

44 days out for Jonas Omlin after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bayer Leverkusen will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match24 Oct 2026
Bayer Leverkusen make it 5 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Bayer Leverkusen have 5 straight wins of it.

Vintage Jonas Hofmann — 8.20
At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.20, and nobody on the pitch better.

Miguel Gutiérrez falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Ninety minutes of Malik Tillman at his very best
Marked 8.56. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bayer Leverkusen.

Christian Kofane gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A satisfied Robert Böhm
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Robert Böhm could afford to be generous.

Moussa Diaby dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
