Bayer 04 Leverkusen constantly work with the club’s events and security management teams plus police and local authorities on the organisation and performance of matches in and around the BayArena not least because of the sad and tragic events in Paris in 2015. The aim of these measures is always to guarantee all visitors and staff an incredibly high standard of security at our stadium.

The attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus ahead of the Champions League game against AS Monaco has also drawn attention to the security issue. We continually endeavour to improve our security procedures and always be in a position to take appropriate measures as required. We are in constant contact with the police and other security agencies. Bayer 04 aims now and in the future to ensure every visitor and member of staff who enters the BayArena feels safe and secure.

In addition to the joy of reaching the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, the Werkself were particularly pleased with their next clean sheet and their focussed defensive performance. Although there was self-criticism after the 0-0 draw against Olympiacos in the play-off second leg, Jonas Hofmann aptly summed the position after the game: "What counts in knockout matches is going through." And one young man in particular will not forget this game in a hurry. The Werkself review.

Matchday news #B04OLY: Focused on the second leg - Kießling and Flekken on Werkself Radio

Bayer 04 can go through to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League for the ninth time tonight, 24 February (kick-off: 21:00 CET) and be in the top 16 clubs in Europe. A good omen: Leverkusen have progressed to the next round after winning the first leg in 20 of their 22 knockout rounds in European competitions to date. For their part, Greek record champions Olympiacos rested several players for last weekend’s league fixture ahead of the play-off second leg at the BayArena and will now do everything in their power to turn the tide with their usual aggressive and high pressing. The discussions on Werkself radio are likely to be just as intense as the battle on the pitch, with commentator Florian Bechholz welcoming honorary captain Stefan Kießling and goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
