Andrich visits Bayer 04 Soccer School

"It's really him!" – The kids at the Bayer 04 Soccer School this week enjoyed a visit from Robert Andrich. The Werkself player took plenty of time out on the edge of the pitch at the BayArena for the 100 participants, fulfilling all requests for autographs and selfies and ensuring so many happy faces as a result.

Kids aged from 6 to 14 had all put on Bayer 04 home shirts and they could hardly wait for Robert Andrich to come out of the dressing room to join them. After greetings, the children had the opportunity to put questions to the 27-year-old midfielder. "Have you ever scored a goal?," was one of the questions all of which Andrich answered in detail.

The Werkself player revealed to the children in the best of weather under a cloudless sky that the World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger had been his idol and that he was at home in the position as a striker in his childhood.

All the questions were answered after 45 minutes, all autograph and selfie requests fulfilled – and the kids at the soccer school were as happy and satisfied as Andrich himself.

Matchday news #MCIB04: First meeting with unbeaten Manchester City

The Werkself face Manchester City for the very first time on Tuesday for Matchday 5 of the league phase in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (kick-off: 21:00 CET). The hosts sit fourth in the standings and boast huge quality in attack, while Leverkusen are looking to improve their meagre record of just one win from the last 10 games away at English clubs. A key player in that regard could be Aleix Garcia, the former City midfielder who ranks highly in several passing metrics in the Champions League this season.
