The 2021-22 campaign delivered a brilliant attacking season for Bayer Leverkusen as Die Werkself secured a strong 3rd-place finish in the Bundesliga, marking a successful return to the coveted UEFA Champions League group stage. Leading the charge was the sensational centre-forward Patrik Schick, whose career-best 24 league goals powered a prolific offense that scored 80 times, featuring the exciting emergence of Moussa Diaby and Florian Wirtz. Under new coach Gerardo Seoane, this high-scoring campaign, despite early exits in the domestic and Europa cups, re-established Leverkusen as a top-four force in German football.
