The mood was solved on Wednesday in the training of Bayer Leverkusen. It was freezing, many players trained with hose scarves and moved themselves as Robert And rich even until short.
But the anticipation for the penultimate group game of the Europa League today against Celtic Glasgow (18: 55 / RTL +) was tangible. Finally, an extraordinary opportunity is waiting: With a single victory Bayer could skip three hurdles at once.
A success against Celtic would already secure the group victory. In the last game in Budapest, coach Gerardo Sloane could then spare all the burdened players. And if the intermediate round rises in February, Leverkusen could watch the return and return relaxed. Because the group winners marched directly since this season through the second round.
And even if Bayer then no more serious game in Europe until mid-March, that's the goal of course. Especially since the situation is still not easy. Because of the last seven compulsory matches Bayer won only two: one at 4-0 against Bets Seville in the Europa League, where it is somehow better than in the league everyday life. And one in the tedious 1: 0 on Saturday against Bochum. What's not good for the trendy. We can take something out of the game, said Sloane: But it looked different as we imagine that. We need a more compact performance.

The five longer injured Patrick Schick, Lucas Alaric, Charles Tranquil, Karim Bellcrank and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are all back in the team training, but will come back to games only gradually. A relieved program until March would also help in this regard. And in contrast to the frustrating cup of against the second division Karlsruhe SC, the occasion would be more positive for the free weeks this time.
