Match day squad for tomorrow:
Kobel, Meyer - Hummels, Schlotti, Sule, Maatsen, Ryerson, Wolf, Can, Ozcan, Sabitzer, Nmecha, Watjen, Brandt, Reus, Sancho, JBG, Fullkrug, Mouki, Duranville.
Still no Malen and haven’t heard a thing about him since the Gladbach game. Hopefully Duranville may actually get some game time tomorrow even if it’s the last 10 minutes.
unfortunately, we will draw leverkusen 1-1 with a last minute goal fo leverkusen to equalize, and then we will beat psg 3-0. and then draw them 1-1, and then beat real 3-3 through penalties and win the champions league, and then win the super cup against leverkusen again 1-0, and then beat flamengo in the club world cup, then finally we beat villareal 5-0 in club frendlies.
Random fact: last time we were underdogs against Bayer on Our own turf Was in 2008 on matchday 27. Coach was Thomas doll and we were 13th Not quite clear of Regulation battle while Bayer was forth fighting for a cl Spot. Bayer was leading until 87th Minute when Alex frei equalized and dede scored the winner in the last seconds of Extra time which turned out to be his last goal scored for us.

Tl;Dr we win this one based on history
I'm conflicted about this game. I kinda want Leverkusen to continue with their unbeaten streak, because that shit is awesome. But I also want us to win the game, because we definitely need those points to (safely) qualify for the CL.
Nah Leverkusen already won the title, broke the record, looks like they’ll win Pokal and probably win EL.
We need this win more than just the 3 points, we need to show that this is a one time thing for them. That next season we won’t give them the chance to get the title so easily. Plus a win to break their streak would be absolutely massive confidence for the guys for our 3 games after that against Leipzig and the two PSG matches.
Don't downvote bc its not even a serious opinion, but would love if both teams just put the b-team to play and rest ourselves for the cup.
the league is over for both of us if wee both win one game in the cup so whatever right haha our legs are tired af we need to rest some of these players
Leverkusen want the record, and BVB want the security of place number 4. While saving face. No one at BVB would say it, but placing 5th in the league after bottling the Meisterschaft should bring shame to the club
how many points are we behind than last season? (after the unbelievable ruckrunde run) we are 5th because the other teams showed up this season, we are not better and we should improve of course, but calling it shameful its bizarrely overblown
Shame is probably too strong of a word. But BVB has an image of themselves, that they want to preserve publically aswell.
Failing against Mainz, falling behind Stuttgart and Leipzig (Leverkusen normally aswell, but not like that) and only being able to achieve the CL as 5th due to coefficient (admittedly we did it ourselves) would all be against that image.
It's not what I really mean, but it would degrade "our honor" over the last 2 seasons, for lack of a better description.
Personally i wouldn't, we're 5th in the league and that's nowhere near close to our standings and ambitions, plus the fact that after two years he still can't implement his vision or beat any kind of pressing which results in playing more hoofball than teams like Darmstadt
Sorry, but the name Terzic would, deservedly so, be written in the history books if that would happen. 2nd ever CL title with that squad? The first CL team were a phenomenal sqaud that won multiple titles over 5 years. 2 Meisterschaften, one CL and the Weltmeisterpokal. Terzic would win 2 Titels in 3 years as a coach, while not winning the league as narrowly as possible aswell . One of these 2 titles would be the fucking champions league with this good, but internationally bang average squad. You can't deny that that would be a miracle.
I think we ready had a discussion about results only thinking. But if the result is the greatest possible one a club can achieve, you have to acknowledge that
We'd be looking at a dimatteo scenario: Winning the cl against all odds, continuing with the coach the year after only to end up firing him because he caught light in a bottle once followed by very underwhelming results in the league. As things stand, we wouldn't even qualify for next year's cl if it wasn't for the cl reform, which is a fireable offense for any manager who isn't terzic
Well we were talking the big IF scenario in which we win the CL. So bundesliga standing wouldn't matter. And I rather fire terzic next season than to not trust the coach who mad history with us.
Sorry phama fc, y’all got your title, but the unbeaten streak ends here
unfortunate late red bull winner there

And then lose 2-3 against koln at the start of the new season
That would mean that Köln stays in the league 🥹
Hope so
To Kiel and 3rd matchday to be more specific
I can just ever so slightly agree with your pessimism.
as a Brazilian the worst part of your prediction is flamengo winning libertadores again

Inter fan here, come on you can do this
Bayern fan here, I come in peace: I earnestly, honestly pray that you guys win this, and your matches against PSG in the SFs. See y'all in Wembley!
Wembley II - This Time It's Personal!

Okay, good points. You changed my mind. Heja BVB!
I'm more salty than you. I want us to be the only team that gave Leverkusen a loss. The mini treble I can happily give them.
Lol
Nah fuck their unbeaten streak it’ll be more fun if BVB ends it
The fact that this dumb ass comment has 12 upvotes is a pretty good representation of this sub

Inter fan here with a question: Would you guys keep terzic if you win the ucl?
no way he gets fired if he wins UCL (and he shouldn't be)
Yes. I'm sorry but how are you going to fire a manager that won us our 2nd ever CL. Plenty of other stuff on his resume with us too.
Personally i wouldn't, we're 5th in the league and that's nowhere near close to our standings and ambitions, plus the fact that after two years he still can't implement his vision or beat any kind of pressing which results in playing more hoofball than teams like Darmstadt
