The 20-year-old Germany international proved to be a guarantee of success in the final stage of the season – with his seven goals in the last seven league games, the home-grown Bayer 04 midfielder made a significant contribution to the Werkself qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League as one of the top four clubs in Germany. Above all in the three most recent matches – including twice in the month of May – Havertz, who played in all of the 34 championship games for the Werkself as did Kevin Volland, open the scoring for the Werkself against Eintracht Frankfurt (6-1), Schalke 04 (1-1) and at Hertha Berlin (5-1).
The fans marked those performances by making the international the Player of the Month. Last month, Havertz was the second Bayer 04 player to secure the award this year alongside Julian Brandt (February). Congratulations!.
The official award of Player of the Month was presented for the first time in the current Bundesliga campaign. The vote was carried out by the German Football League (DFL) in cooperation with the official licensing partner the Bundesliga, EA SPORTS FIFA 19. The award is based on a two-stage selection process where both the performance date of the player as well of the vote from fans and experts are taken into account.

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in. Today’s matchday news.
