This will be the first appearance for Exequiel Palacios on the 'aktuelles sportstudio' programme filmed in Mainz. The Leverkusen midfielder will talk about winning the World Cup with Argentina last winter, his personal development at the Werkself as well as the end of season run-in with Bayer 04 and the forthcoming semi-final tie against AS Roma in the Europa League.
The classic programme on ZDF, running since 1963, saw Rudi Völler invited in February, albeit in his role with the DFB. The 63-year-old was interviewed a year earlier as the sporting managing director at Bayer 04. Palacios’ teammate Robert Andrich appeared on the programme in Mainz back in November 2021
HERE is the live stream of ‘aktuelles sportstudio’.
Despite the international break, numerous Werkself fans turned up at the BayArena on Saturday 3 October. The occasion: Bayer 04, together with Bayer Vital and main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer, organised a Health Day. In the stadium’s Premium Lounge, guests listened to fascinating talks on the subject of cancer, featuring, amongst others, Bayer 04 record appearance holder Rüdiger Vollborn and former Werkself player Hans Sarpei. Afterwards, young and old alike enjoyed interactive stations such as a grip strength test and eye pupil test.

Exciting exhibitions, stimulating talk, and a great response: as part of the 22nd Leverkusen Kunstnacht (Art Night), Bismarckstraße also became an art promenade on Friday evening. Stadioneck and Schwadbud made their debut at the traditional event, whilst the Lev-Szene 86 clubhouse on Konrad-Adenauer-Platz was taking part for the third time. In Schlebusch, too, there was art on display with links to Bayer 04. Football wasn’t always the main focus, however.
