Bayer Leverkusen vs Real Madrid History

In 2001/02, Klaus Toppmoller’s Bayer Leverkusen side upset the odds by beating both Liverpool and Manchester United in the knockout rounds before facing Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final, with the Spanish side running out narrow winners. Since this run, the Bundesliga side has struggled to make much of an impact in the competition. In 2023/24, the German side reached the UEFA Europa League Final, and Xabi Alonso’s side were the favourites to beat Atalanta, not least because they had won a domestic double without losing a game. However, an Ademola Lookman hat-trick gave the Italian underdogs a surprise 3-0 win.

Real Madrid started how they meant to go on with regards to their performances in the European Cup, winning each of the first five editions of the competition. Further success followed in 1966 before a thirty-year spell of relative failure. That run ended in 1998 when the Spanish capital side beat Juventus. Another spell of utter dominance followed between 2013/14 and 2023/24 when the Santiago Bernabeu side won no less than six UEFA Champions League crowns, split evenly between managers Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Real Madrid Head-to-Head

These two clubs have met on numerous occasions in European action. In 1997/98, Real Madrid knocked Bayer Leverkusen out of the Quarter-finals of the competition, winning 4-1 on aggregate. They met again in the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final, with Zinedine Zidane scoring the winner in a hard-fought 2-1 win at Glasgow’s Hampden Park. A measure of revenge was achieved when the two sides played each other in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2004/05 when goals from Jacek Krzynowek, Franca and Dimitar Berbatov gave the German side a 3-0 win over Real Madrid.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Real Madrid Mutual Connections

A number of huge stars have made a real impact at both clubs, with two big names in particular standing out. German midfield general Toni Kroos spent one and a half seasons on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, making 48 appearances and scoring ten goals before becoming a regular at Bayern Munich. He would then go on to join Real Madrid in 2014 and amassed 465 appearances, scoring 28 goals, before calling time on his glittering career.

In 2009, Xabi Alonso left Liverpool for Real Madrid, and over the course of six seasons in the Spanish capital, he won a host of accolades, including both La Liga and UEFA Champions League crowns, before moving to Bayern Munich. He would go on to manage Bayer Leverkusen, leading the club to their first-ever domestic title in 2023/24, with his side going the entire season unbeaten.
