Bayer Leverkusen

They boast an undefeated season across all competitions, including their Bundesliga title. Their manager, Xabi Alonso, has them playing a possession-based, attacking style.

Bayer Leverkusen, who will be hoping their dream of a treble remains alive, face Kaiserslautern in Saturday’s German Cup final in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.

Alonso’s side will be overwhelming favourites against a team who finished in the bottom half of the second tier this season.

Bayer Leverkusen: Team news

Good News: Granit Xhaka and Piero Hincape are expected to return to the starting lineup after missing some recent matches.
Selection Headache: Manager Xavi Alonso has a tough decision to make regarding the striker position. Victor Boniface has been impressive, but Patrik Schick is a proven goalscorer.
Clean Bill of Health (Mostly): Leverkusen has a relatively healthy squad with no major injury concerns.
