"BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been working together since 2020 and now it's clear: The partnership is being extended! As the official health partner of the Werkself, BERGISCHE not only supports the club, but also the people from the region," says Frank Goworek, deputy director of BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE. "The partnership stands for more than just sport - it stands for responsibility, education and innovative health services that are close to the people."
The BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE logo will therefore also be visible on the media backdrops in the Mixed Zone and at press conferences at the BayArena before and after Werkself matches over the next three years. The fact BKK will also be a partner of the Bayer 04 Football School is just one element of the long-established company's partnership with the German Champions League team. Company health management, education and lectures in the area of health and prevention, the branding of the Bayer 04 Lions Club and an eSports health campaign complete the close cooperation.

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.
