Exactly 366 days separate the first round cup tie at Alemannia Aachen and the exit from the Europa League against the finalists Inter Milan. No other season has ever been so long. Lots of games and lots of emotional moments.
Now it’s the turn of Werkself fans: The vote for Player of the Season 2019/2020!
Which player in a Bayer 04 shirt impressed most? Perhaps the winner from the previous year: Kai Havertz was the top scorer with twelve goals. Or perhaps the captain Lars Bender? His goal to make it 4-3 in the home game against Borussia Dortmund raised the roof at the BayArena and provided one the really special moments of the season. Is it Lukas Hradecky, who rescued a number of points for the Werkself with his saves and has the highest average marks of all the goalkeepers in the sports journal Kicker? Or perhaps a new signing like our French lightning fast winger Moussa Diaby, who has enjoyed an excellent first season at Leverkusen with goals and assists.
The fans’ choice! The vote is open to all Bayer 04 Club members.
The vote is open to 6 September.
The player of the season will be honoured as in previous seasons. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is unclear how the award will be made. The participants in the ballot will be able to win an exclusive prize. The winner will receive a match shirt worn by Charles Aránguiz. He wore the shirt in the Europa League Round of 16 second leg against Rangers. A unique prize – it includes the thank you inscription above the club badge.
We are also raffling one new home shirt and one new away shirt. In addition, all the participants have the opportunity to win a two-hour city tour on the Schwadbus for themselves and their friends. Places 5 to 10 will receive a voucher for the Bayer 04 shop to a value of 19.04 euros.

Bayer 04 were beaten 2-0 away at Augsburg on Matchday 13 in the Bundesliga. The Werkself had the majority of the ball but fell behind early to Dimitrios Giannoulis and then Anton Kade inside the first half an hour. Despite an attempted fightback in the second half and striking the frame of the goal three times, Leverkusen were left empty handed.
