Government policy: No ticket sales allowed

The Werkself will most probably have to manage without the support of fans at matches for the first Bundesliga games in 2022. A decision on a new package of measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic was taken at a summit meeting of the national and state governments in Germany on Tuesday and that includes banning spectators from attending large sports events at a trans-regional level from 28 December.

That means there will be no tickets on sale for the first Bayer 04 home game of the New Year against Union Berlin. Season card holders have already been informed via email that they will not receive tickets for #B04FCU and will not be charged.

The game against the seventh-placed club will be played at the BayArena on Saturday, 8 January 2022 (kick-off: 15.30 CET).

#BMGB04: no ticket sales for now

Bayer 04 will not sell tickets for the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday 15 January (kick-off: 18.30 CET) for the time being. If the situation changes, the club will provide updated information via email and the club media channels.

How long these measures will continue is unclear at the moment due to the rampant Omicron variant. The heads of the state governments and the Federal government are next due to meet on 7 January.

Bayer 04 lose 1-0 to Marseille in first Europa League defeat

After three consecutive wins in the Europa League, the Werkself suffered their first European defeat of the season against Marseille. In a first half with few chances, the Black and Reds gradually gained more and more control of the game, but were unable to convert that advantage into goals. Miguel Gutiérrez came closest to putting Leverkusen ahead with a shot that hit the crossbar. In the second half, the French side produced clinical finishing, with Amine Gouiri scoring from a counter-attack to make it 1-0 (77’). Right up to the final whistle, the Werkself threw everything forward in search of an equaliser, but were unable to find a way back into the game.
