“We want to continue the trend,” said Nadiem Amiri ahead of the home game against Augsburg. “After two wins on the bounce, we obviously want to build on that. But it won’t be a walk in the park. Augsburg will want to make life difficult for us – we’ll need patience, concentration at set pieces and the right balance between attack and defence.”
The full interview with Amiri, facts and stats on the game, the latest information and news about Bayer 04 are contained in the new edition of the BayArena Aktuell matchday magazine.
The magazine is normally available from the concourse at the Bay Arena on matchdays. Even though fans are unable to watch the game at the stadium because of the current high infection rate in and around Leverkusen, the matchday magazine (in German) is still available to Bayer 04 fans. Bayer 04 will continue to make the BayArena Aktuell available as an e-paper during the COVID-19 crisis.

This evening was deeply moving: At a really special setting, Bayer 04 exclusively presented the specially produced documentary ‘Fierté Burkinabè’ ("Burkinabe Pride") about Edmond Tapsoba on Tuesday. For the preview at the BayArena, the parents of the Werkself player and other close companions travelled all the way from his African homeland Burkina Faso. The 45-minute film shows Tapsoba's extraordinary career from his beginnings in Ouagadougou to Leverkusen as well as the work of his foundation "Fondation Edmond Tapsoba", with representatives from Burkina Faso also present. Fans can watch the documentary free of charge on Werkself TV and YouTube from Wednesday night at 20:00 CEST.
