"The shared experiences of last season, in particular achieving the double, have created a strong link between the two partners that we want to continue to look after," said the two Alexanderwerk managing directors Bekim Bunjaku and Manfred Felder.
As part of the new sponsorship contract, Alexanderwerk will have a comprehensive presence in the area of ‘Stadium vision’ that includes presentation on the screens in the VIP areas at the BayArena during Werkself Bundesliga matches. Other elements of the contract are an executive box in the south stand at the BayArena plus networking tours for European games for the double winners. The contract will run to 30 June 2025.

The Czech rounded off his brace when he headed in from a corner just 144 seconds later. Bayer 04 maintained their lead with aplomb to achieve a good position for the return leg in Leverkusen.
