1️⃣4️⃣ Patrik Schick's 14 is our number of the week! 🔍 Well, in a bit different context. But it hits home nearly as good as Patrik.

We're proud of our boys and our fans! 🖤❤️ Our UEFA Champions League journey came to an end yesterday at the Round of 16. Congratulations to FC Bayern München for reaching the quarterfinals. Overall, our opponents from Munich were better in this knockout matchup. Being back among Europe’s elite has still been special, and reaching the top 8 in the league phase of the new UCL format is something that the whole club is proud of. The team showed incredible passion, resilience, and quality on the biggest stage, and while we of course wanted to go even further, this campaign has been another step forward for Bayer 04. Nights like these remind us why we love this game—full of emotions, challenges, and moments that will stay with us. Now, all focus shifts to the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. There’s still so much to play for, and this team has the hunger to keep pushing. The journey isn’t over—there are big goals ahead, and we’ll give everything to make this season as successful as we can. A big thank you goes out to our amazing fans and supporters. You have our back at all times and we couldn't do anything without you. 🫶

⚽ Bayer 04 zeigt, wie’s geht: Volltreffer mit dem VSME – gemeinsam mit Code Gaia! 🌱 Bayer 04 Leverkusen beweist, dass Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung keine Pflicht, sondern eine Chance ist. In erfolgreicher Zusammenarbeit mit uns hat der Klub seinen letzten Nachhaltigkeitsbericht nach dem VSME-Standard veröffentlicht und zeigt, wie eine strukturierte und transparente Berichterstattung gelingt. 🌍 Warum ist Bayer 04 ein echter Vorreiter? 🔹 Frühzeitig am Ball: Seit 2023 setzt der Klub auf den VSME als Berichtsstandard und schafft damit Transparenz und Struktur. 🔹 Den eigenen Fußabdruck im Blick: Aktuell arbeitet Bayer 04 an seinen Umweltkennzahlen, um fundierte Erkenntnisse für die nächsten Schritte zu gewinnen. 🔹 Langfristig aufgestellt: Der nächste VSME-Report ist bereits geplant und soll 2026 veröffentlicht werden. 💚 Das sind die Highlights des Berichts: 🔹 Umwelt: Bayer 04 beschäftigt sich aktiv mit der Verbesserung seiner Umwelt-Performance, besonders in den Bereichen Mobilität und Energieverbrauch. 🔹 Gesellschaft: Der Klub setzt sich für Chancengleichheit, Diversität und regionales Engagement ein. 🔹 Klubführung: Mit hohen Standards in Compliance und Innovation stellt Bayer 04 die Weichen für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. 📌 Warum ist das jetzt besonders relevant? Mit der EU-Omnibus-Verordnung wächst die Unsicherheit, welche Berichtsstandards Unternehmen künftig anwenden müssen. Bayer 04 Leverkusen zeigt, dass es sich lohnt, frühzeitig Transparenz zu schaffen, Prozesse zu strukturieren und die Weichen für die Zukunft zu stellen.

Well, it's an all-German clash to kick off our knockout stage of the UCL this season! 💫 The draw has paired us up in the round of 16 with FC Bayern München, which makes the game all the more special. Of course, we have already played FC Bayern three times this season but every game was equally intense and entertaining. Now we get to showcase this fixture on the biggest European stage! The first leg will be played at the Allianz Arena on 3/4 March before returning home to Leverkusen for the return leg one week later. 

🗳️ Am Sonntag zählt nur ein Kreuz: Deins! Mit Kreuzen kennen wir uns aus. Und das für uns normalerweise wichtigste Kreuz leuchtet über Leverkusen. Aber am Sonntag rückt es in den Hintergrund. Da geht es um mehr als um Fußball. Es geht um unsere Demokratie und um unsere Zukunft. Beides dürfen wir nicht anderen überlassen. Deswegen rufen wir alle Wahlberechtigten dazu auf, am Sonntag ihre Stimme abzugeben. Geh wählen! Mach Dein Kreuz! ❌
