The gang are back to take down three matches in 30 minutes by looking back at the games against K*ln, Bayern, and Frankfurt and assessing the pretty favorable results under Hannes Wolf.

Neverkusen Podcast 161
What a rollercoaster of a week for Bayer Leverkusen, and you can certainly hear the confusion and disbelief (unfassbar!) in Eric’s, Jase’s and Frankie’s voices.

“Fackin’ pish” might be the way to describe Saturday’s match, but this episode of the Neverkusen Podcast is anything but! In the first part, Frankie and Eric have the great pleasure of talking to football journalist and unabashed 1. FSV Mainz 05 fan, Mara Pfeiffer, who kind of saves the weekend for us with her …
