Bayer Leverkusen, the Leicester City or Blackburn Rovers of Germany Bundesliga. A small club getting a League title against all the giants and possibly unlikely to ever get so close again?
Hi Cidered, sadly not particularly romantic though, much as Jack Walker funded Blackburn, Bayer Leverkusen are owned by a multi billion euro, multinational company Bayer who have their HQ in Leverkusen. Seem to remember a few years back they were hated by other clubs/fans in Germany for not following the fan owned model. Perhaps People are happy to see Bayern not win though.
