Nassim Boujellab successfully made the leap into the first team a few months ago. In an interview with schalke04.de, the midfielder spoke about his first few months as a professional, his favourite position, the support from Gerald Asamoah and Torsten Fröhling, as well as his new jersey number.

FCA have also agreed a buy option for the 19-year-old, who came through the Sporting academy and can play in both defensive midfield and at centre-back. The 1.90-metre-tall left-footer has played the full 90 minutes in five of his side’s six UEFA Youth League matches this season.

With its Champions League hopes on a life support — and facing a Bayern Munich squad who would like nothing more than to send the Catalans packing to the Europa League — FC Barcelona is truly in trouble.

On matchday 28, the team travel to North Germany to face SV Werder Bremen. That game takes place on Sunday, 16th April (15:30 CEST). The home game against FC Schalke 04 will also take place on a Sunday (23rd April, 15:30 CEST).

Hertha have played 15 games so far this season in the Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals in the process. Due to the break in the season for the World Cup, the club couldn’t choose a best goal for the first half of the season, instead the best goal of the season so far. The award was presented by Betway.

TSG will have fond memories of the reverse fixture in Leverkusen, with that 3-0 victory at the BayArena on Matchday 3 perhaps their best performance of the season. But a lot has changed since 13 August 2022 – not only in Hoffenheim, where Pellegrino Matarazzo will make his debut as TSG head coach on Saturday (15:30 CET / Live Ticker at tsg-hoffenheim.de), but in Leverkusen too. The men from the Rhineland have also appointed a new man in the dugout this season: Leverkusen parted ways with Gerardo Seoane in October and replaced him with Xabi Alonso. Formerly a world-class player, Alonso previously coached the Real Sociedad reserves and has steered Leverkusen away from more dangerous waters since his appointment. But a run of five successive wins has now been followed by two defeats – and after those losses at home to Dortmund (2-0) and in Augsburg (1-0), the recently reinvigorated belief that they can make up the ground and achieve their overarching goal of European football appears to be ebbing away.
