If you need a refresher: Yann Sommer had a howler in the penalty box which left Vitinha a wide open goal only for De Ligt to deny him. According to Sommer, the season could have gone differently had De Ligt not got to that ball. “It could be, yes. We need that kind of push, to support each other. This spirit makes a big team.

Urs Fischer was looser, for starters. He explained that the most important thing wasn’t tonight’s game, but actually when Ajax come to the Alte Försterei. “It’s about laying down a base for next week,” he said, before watching his players lay down one of the most solid, well built bases he could have ever imagined. He also said that, “You should try to enjoy it a little too,” but whether or not this was really true is best left to him to answer. Though he can certainly be proud of every single one of his players tonight.

Despite the final score, SV Werder Bremen were not without their chances against top-of-the-table Bayer 04 Leverkusen. While the Green-Whites put in a brave performance and created several opportunities, the visitors were extremely clinical in front of goal. After Olivier Deman’s own goal opened the scoring for Leverkusen (9’), Jeremie Frimpong hit one home just prior to the break (43’). Grimaldo’s goal (76’) secured the victory in what was a fairly even second-half, with the crossbar denying Njinmah in the final phase of the game.

Thorup made two changes to his side from the 1-1 draw against TSG Hoffenheim. Fredrik Jensen was ruled out with illness and replaced by Arne Engels.
