While the midweek contest represents Leverkusen's first European game of the season, Hacken have made their way through qualifying to seal their place in the main draw.

The progress under Alonso's watch has shown no signs of slowing down in the opening stages of the 2023-24 campaign, having won four and drawn one of their five competitive games to make an unbeaten start to the season.

After thrashing four-tier Teutonia Ottensen 8-0 in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Leverkusen racked up three consecutive league victories before they travelled to the Allianz Arena on Friday for a top-of-the-table clash against perennial champions Bayern Munich.

The contest was billed as a test of Leverkusen's title credentials, and they certainly demonstrated that they have enough quality to trouble Thomas Tuchel's side after coming from behind on two occasions thanks to Alex Grimaldo's first-half free kick and Exequiel Palacios's dramatic stoppage-time penalty, ensuring that die Werkself finished matchday four as the league leaders.

Leverkusen will now turn their attention to their first Europa League group-stage game of the season, where they will look to showcase their firepower against European opposition after netting 13 goals in their opening four Bundesliga fixtures.
