Bayer Leverkusen emerged in the early 20th century, formed by employees of a pharmaceutical company. While they narrowly missed entry into the inaugural Bundesliga, they received an invitation in 1979 and have remained a consistent presence among the top tiers of German football ever since.
Among their recent achievements asserting their standing in German football, reaching the 2004 Champions League final stands out. Notably, they were the first team in the tournament's history to achieve this feat without securing their league title first. Additionally, triumphing over the formidable Real Madrid with a 3-0 victory the following year showcased their prowess. The team maintained a consistent top-five finish for seven consecutive seasons, starting from 2009-2010, with their second-place finish in 2011, trailing behind champions Borussia Dortmund.
While the team grapples with the challenge of breaking their "near misses" pattern, their consistent performances illustrate their potential to achieve significant success in the future.
