Hoffenheim beat Hannover while Leverkusen, Monchengladbach, Stuttgart, and Bremen all had draws in the German Bundesliga on September 23, 2012.
Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Leverkusen earned their first draw of the season thanks to a Michal Kadlec goal. Monchengladbach took the lead on a third minute Patrick Herrmann goal but the lead wouldn't last.
Bayern 04 Leverkusen have confirmed that Montreal Impact target Michael Ballack could be made
available for a transfer abroad in the coming days news that has also been confirmed by the
midfielder's agent.
Former Bayern Munich and Chelsea ace Ballack enjoyed a prolific career at the highest level but
injuries brought an untimely end to his role as the skipper of the Germany international team in
the build-up to the 2010 World Cup.
Andre Schurrle's heavily speculated transfer to Chelsea may finally be concluded in the coming weeks as Leverkusen have confirmed negotiations have begun between the two clubs. As we have seen on numerous occasions during Roman Abramovich's reign at Chelsea, whoever Roman wants Roman gets.

This Saturday, the Bundesliga's 3rd and 4th placed teams will square off when Schalke host Bayer Leverkusen at the Veltins-Arena. The match is particularly contentious as the two clubs are just four points apart in the Bundesliga table.
The top battle in this weekend's European action takes place in Germany, as Bayer Leverkusen hosts Borussia Dortmund for control of second place in the Bundesliga.
Leverkusen's scoreless draw last week at Freiburg opened the door for Dortmund, who has outscored opponents 13-1 in its last three matches, to move just one point back in the league table.

Okay, folks, there's still only snail-pace movement in the rankings and that probably won't change
until we complete the first knockout round of the Champions League, and that's still several weeks
away. But at least the round finally is under way – it always seems so long between the end of
the group stage and the beginning of the eighth-finals.
It's a big moment today for Barca. The Nou campers just crested a double-digit deficit to Real
Madrid in La Liga with Real Madrid's talent it's hard to see Mourinho's troops dropping that
trophy. Gulp.
The Champion's League is where Barcelona must make their name this year.
Arsene Wenger may be about to do his bit for the German economy, as it has been reported that he will spend the whole of the Arsenal transfer kitty on three players from the Bundesliga. Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze of the current champions Borussia Dortmund and Lars Bender of Bayer Leverkusen are the three players linked with a summer move to the Emirates, but is Wenger really ready to break the habit of a lifetime and pay top dollar?
Real Madrid are looking to make 2012 one of their best years in their 111 year existence so far
after temporarily moving 13 points clear at the top of the La Liga table after a hard fought 3-2
victory over Real Betis last night.
Once again it was their iconic no.7 Cristiano Ronaldo who ensured victory for Mourinho as he
bagged two goals to keep Madrid's winning streak intact.
Few words before Real Madrid take it to the field at Real Betis's homeground tonight. Real Madrid
still lead Barcelona by 10 points in La Liga and we are looking strong in Champions League too.
Messi's five goals in one game against Bayern Leverkusen is not going to help Barcelona's
situation.

Barcelona are set to cruise into the quarter final of Champions League after sealing a 3-1 away
lead over Bayern Leverkusen, but the Catalan team's coach, Josep Guardiola, warned his players that
their opponent still can't be taken lightly despite the second leg is being held at Camp Nou.
Guardiola believed that Leverkusen wont easily give up and their speed is something that the
Blaurgrana players must keep an eye on as the tactician thinks that it could trouble his team.
Except for the teeny tiny detail that these gentleman are making massive wages and playing in
the Champions League knockout for a reputable club from one of the world's biggest leagues.
Bayer teammates Michael Kadlec and Manuel Friedrich fought over Lionel Messi's match shirt in
the tunnel at halftime of their Champions League bend on Tuesday.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUEÂ action was back after a break with Spanish representative FC BARCELONA travelling
to BAYERN LEVERKUSEN for the 1º leg last 16 teams match. The final result was a 1 - 3 victory for
Barcelona which "virtually" puts them into the quarter-final with the exception of a surprise
result (possible) at "Camp Nou" in the 2º leg return match in two weeks.
FC Barcelona has virtually assured themselves off a Quarter Final birth in this Season's
Champions League competition with a 3-1 away victory against Bayern Leverkusen. This is the first
time Guardiola has managed to win an away leg of the last 16 knock out stage in Champions League.
Two goals from Sanchez and one from Messi was enough for Barca to see the German side off at their
home.

Young Liverpool winger, Raheem Sterling scored his debut goal for Liverpool after just 3 minutes at
Anfield on Sunday. Brendan Rodger's new side have embraced the possession and attacking game
readily. John Joe Shelvey, in particular, has flourished under the new manager's philosophy of pass
and move with the ball.
That was more like it, a much more reassuring friendly than the three in the USA. Which may have
had something to do with the stronger XI, not all that different from the one which faced Gomel on
Thursday. It was far stronger than expected, with Gerrard, Suarez, and Lucas all surprise starters.
It should have been a dream return for Andy Carroll to St. Jame's Park, instead it turned out to
be a nightmare as Liverpool lost 2-0 to further complicate their chances of playing in Europe next
season. Sunday's loss makes it the third consecutive loss for Dalglish who is starting to feel the
heat of the job.
El ex capitán de la selección alemana se ha organizado su propio adiós del fútbol, tal y como publica el diario 'Express'. Ilustres como Drogba, Lampard, Özil o Schweinsteiger acompañarán a la leyenda germana.
Another chapter of the Lionel Messi legacy was last night etched into history. The mercurial Argentine became the first player to score five goals in a Champions League match, helping Barcelona to a 7-1 second leg victory over a less than inspired Leverkusen side. While Arsenal put on a master class in how to over-turn a first leg deficit, Leverkusen showed us exactly how you do not go about it.
Player Profile: Renato Augusto by KJ I've lately started doing these player profiles on players
either at Arsenal or linked with Arsenal. I am willing to listen to any suggestions on players you

suggestions in [.
Steve Cherundolo and Hannover face off against Leverkusen in an effort to keep ahold of their
Europa League spot while Matt Taylor and Paderborn will make a desperate last effort towards
promotion.
There's no stopping the FIFA Puskas Award winner Neymar these days... the
Santos Stud is on a ROLL! He grabbed a hat-trick in Santos's 3-1 win over Internacional in
the Copa Libertadores last night and has been scoring goals in the same way he danced at
Carnaval two weeks ago like a madman!
Dimitar Berbatov presents a problem for Sir Alex Ferguson. After literally breaking the bank to get
the Bulgarian from White Hart Lane, Ferguson seems to have lost faith in the former
Leverkusen...
Did we say Leo Messi is the best footballer in the world? Maybe we did. But did we also mention
he had the fitness and strength of Hercules and the will of Bismarck.
Check out that third goal created and finished by Messi. Tell us in the 88th minute of a match,
ANY match, if an ordinary mortal would have the legs and the passion to get to that ball from Dani
Alves as displayed by Messi and we'll show you how to transform Katy Perry into a real
chanteuse.
