UEFA europa League
In the 1987/88 season, Bayer 04 won the European club competition for the only time to date, at that time still under the name UEFA Cup. The first leg of the final was lost 3-0 to Espanyol Barcelona, but head coach Erich Ribbeck's team equaled the total in the second leg - and won the trophy after a penalty shootout. After finishing third in Group B of the UEFA Champions League, the Werkself will continue to play in the European Cup and play on in the play-offs of the knockout round of the UEFA Europa League.
