Rangers progressed to the Europa League final in Seville in May 2022 where they lost an exciting match against Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have played the Scottish record champions four times to date. Rangers came out on top in the second round of the UEFA Cup in the 1998/99 season with a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 draw. The Werkself gained revenge in 2019/20 in the Europa League Round of 16: Bayer 04 went through to the next round thanks to two wins (3-1 and 1-0).

Information on ticket sales to follow on the Bayer 04 club channels.

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.
