Wirtz shines with a double pack: Leverkusen sweeps Salzburg 5: 0 off the square!

In a true football festival, Bayer Leverkusen RB Salzburg swept out of the stadium with an impressive 5: 0 (3: 0)! National player Florian Wirtz, who shone with a double pack and a template, created the best atmosphere on the pitch and the 29,211 spectators. Thanks to this outstanding performance, the German champion remains on course for the direct qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League.

The Leverkuseners, who have been unbeaten in the BayArena in the European Cup for over two years, have excellent chances with ten points from five games to get under the top eight teams. Wirtz opened the peat festival with a converted penalty in the 8th minute, followed by a spectacular free kick by Alejandro Grimaldo (11th) and another goal from Wirtz (30th). Patrik Schick (61.) and Aleix Garcia (72nd) rounded off the result and showed that the Leverkuseners could not be stopped.

Leverkusen dominates the game

The Leverkuseners started concentrated and offensive, very different from in the last league game, where they were already 0: 2 behind after 20 minutes. Trainer Xabi Alonso had to do without several key players due to injuries, including Victor Boniface and Amine Adli. But the team was not put off and dominated the game from the first minute. Wirtz, who prevailed against three opponents, showed his class at the third goal and proved that he was the key player of the evening.

"It was a lot of fun again. We took a lot of gas from the first minute," said Wirtz after the game. The Salzburgers, who were only able to win a victory in the Champions League, had to deal with injuries and a strong team of Leverkusen. Goalkeeper Alexander Schlager was the only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing appearance of his team. With this victory, Leverkusen consolidates his position and shows that they want to fight for the title this season.
