In an electrifying return to the Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen showcased their dominance with a commanding 4-0 victory over Feyenoord on Thursday at De Kuip Stadium.

The team’s ability to adapt and execute strategies flawlessly was on full display as they overpowered the Dutch side, leaving them second-guessing their tactics. Young star Florian Wirtz shone the brightest, netting two goals in his Champions League debut, instantly establishing his name in the annals of this prestigious tournament.
