The limited edition T-shirt marking the Werkself’s qualification for the UEFA Champions League has been on sale for less than 04 days and Bayer 04 have announced: Sold out! The stock at the online shop and the club fan shops has been sold so that 1,800 Black and Red fans are now proud owners of the "Back again – Bayer in the Champions League" T-shirt.
Bayer 04 have one of the four best strikers in Europe in their own ranks since last weekend. Patrik Schick, who netted a brace in the 4-2 win against TSG Hoffenheim, has moved into the Golden Boot rankings in fourth place. Like Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain), the Czech Republic international has scored 24 goals for the Werkself in the league this season.
Only Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich/34 goals) plus Ciro Immobile (Lazio/27) and Karim Benzema (Real Madrid/26) are ahead of Schick in the rankings. Goal scored by players in the top European leagues are multiplied by a factor of two and goals by players from the other leagues by a factor of 1.5 or 1.
