2001/02: Showdown in Nuremberg
It was worse for the Werkself five years later. Leverkusen go into the last two matches of the season with a two-point lead and a significantly better goal difference. In the week, Bayer 04 took the last step to the Champions League final after a battling 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United. Now it's off to FC Nürnberg who need every point in the battle against relegation. A draw would be enough to resolve everything in the final home game against Hertha Berlin. All Bayer 04 fans know how it ends. After the 1-0 defeat in Nuremberg there are only tears against Hertha with Borussia Dortmund winning despite Bremen taking the lead.

History: 50 years ago – Promotion season 1974/75 (March)
SV Baesweiler are the visitors to the Ulrich Haberland Stadium on 2 March 1975. With a 2-1 win in front of a crowd of 1,600 the Werkself get revenge for the defeat in the reverse fixture but the best thing about this game were not just two points. Leverkusen failed to really impress against battling visitors. It looked very good after an early goal from Matthias Hemmersbach on eight minutes but the Werkself again went too far with individual actions. Bayer 04 were on top in the first half. And Peter Surbach made it 2-0 with a header at the start of the second 45 but suddenly everything fell apart. Baesweiler pulled a goal back on the hour mark and besieged the goal brilliantly minded by Hubert Makel. In the end it was down to him that the game ended with a 2-1 win.
