Saarbrücken are having a sensational run in the Cup; the VfB gave Leverkusen an almighty scare in the Cup quarter-final, that is for sure.
Die Werkself though, are having themselves a season they will talk about for years.
Especially if it does go a bit, well, Neverkusen again (they have historical form for this…)
Arsenal are going to win this bastardised tournament aren't they

They're certainly going to have a advantage at the Emirates in the next round.Arsenal are going to win this bastardised tournament aren't they
Bayern Munich face a supporter ban because of Pyrotechnic use. UEFA have said that Arsenal can sell the away allocation to home fans.

Chances in the Europa League for a Liverpool v Leverkusen final?
Xabi Alonso to come up against his former playing club and most likely future managerial club. In the last season of Klopp's Liverpool career.
It's the type of scenario that football always throws at you.

The superman punch by the other chap we were linked with, Osayi-Samuel with is quite impressive as well but you'd imagine that there will be some huge ramifications for the players and teams.........actually scrap that, its the Turkish league!

Yeah, when I speak with my Turkish colleagues and the talk turns to football - as it often does - some of the stuff that happens in the Turkish league is equal parts hilarious, frightening, and batshit mental.
Ralph Hasenhüttl is appointed the new coach of VfL Wolfsburg.
The new coach takes over with the Wolves just six points above the Relegation-Playoff place.

Oh, and I love a good stat, me, and this is a belter:

Shall be watching the Derby du Nord tonight. Only 1 point separates Lille and RC Lens.
Xabi Alonso confirms he will remain as the coach of Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season, dashing the hopes of FC Bayern and the Scousers, who had both hoped to land their former player.

Napoli players took the knee today against Atalanta.
Now, this is not a gesture much used on Italy but since Acerbi got off Scott free for a bit of racism the other week. Napoli have opted out of the kick racism out campaign and are going their own way.

Half Five UK time tonight, it is the appallingly-named Der Klassiker, contested between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund; today‘s instalment from the Allianz Arena in München.
Bayern‘s hopes of another title look remote, given Leverkusen‘s scintillating form this season, and Dortmund - who absolutely Dortmunded it up last season by handing the title to the Bavarians on the final day, by failing to beat lowly Mainz 05 at home, might be up for this one, given it gives them an opportunity to thwart their recent nemesis and thoroughly piss on the Müncheners‘ chips.
Lothar Matthäus is on pundit duty on Sky DE, he always loves these games (and could start an argument in a phone box).

Patrick Schick, the man of miracles strikes again!
Leverkusen are simply refusing to lose this season, all the while we're lying here with no energy just asking to get trampled! ARGH!!

Meanwhile PSV just lost for the first time in the league. They're having a fantastic season with a goal difference of 82:16 regardless.

Karim Adeyemi scores on ten minutes for the visitors; 0-1 Dortmund, and you have to say, it’s deserved.
Bayern have been all over the place at the back.
