Former Bayer player Dmitry Bulykin commented on the victory of the Leverkusen team in the Bundesliga.
On April 14, Bayer became the German champion for the first time in the club’s 119-year history. The team beat Werder Bremen (5:0) and secured the title with five rounds to go. Bayer extended its unbeaten streak to 43 matches and repeated the record unbeaten streak in the history of the top 5 leagues. Juventus previously went unbeaten for 43 consecutive matches in 2011-12.
— I’m very happy because I played in this club. The team’s management consists of people with whom I directly played and studied at UEFA. This makes it doubly pleasant. Everyone in our chat is already congratulating them. Coach Alonso is also very likable. He understands how football works. I myself played at a high level and together with the management they built the right work and strategy. They have people in their leadership who also know football from the inside. It’s always a pleasure to work with such people; they allow both the club and the coach to achieve the desired result. Everyone there understands each other perfectly.
In general, I am very glad that Bayer became the champion, and even promoted Bayern. However, they also have the Europa League ahead, and a record in the Bundesliga can be set. Therefore, it is too early to relax. It will be interesting to see how they perform in the Europa League. Bayer did it. Will Krasnodar be able to? Unfortunately, Krasnodar will not be able to. They are in the wrong shape, with the wrong power and with the wrong luck, like Bayer. Therefore, Zenit again has a good chance of becoming a champion,” Metaratings quotes Bulykin as saying.
In the Europa League, Bayer will play the second leg of their quarter-final clash with London’s West Ham on Thursday. After the first match, the German team is ahead – 2:0.
Watch the live broadcast of the West Ham – Bayer Leverkusen match on April 18 from 21:45 on the MATCH FOOTBALL 3 TV channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.

Roma’s Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik According to Il Tempo, he will have to undergo surgery.
It turned out that the injury the 28-year-old striker received in the match against Lecce in the 19th round of the Italian Serie A was more serious than expected. After new tests, Roma and the player decided to undergo surgery to remove the musculotendinous lesion on the left thigh.
Therefore, Dovbik will probably not be able to help the Ukrainian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The striker is unlikely to recover for the match against the Swedish national team on March 26.
Dovbik was injured in the match between Lecce and Roma in the 19th round of Serie A on January 6. Artem scored in the 71st minute, setting the final score of the match (2:0), and left the field due to injury in the 86th minute.

Before working in journalism, I was an athlete: I played football for Colgate University and competed in the US Open Cross Country Championships.
Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.
