A 4-0 bankruptcy that really hurts …
The good news for all Gladbach fans first, because after that there are only bad luck and blunder: Marcus Thuram (24) stays. The Frenchman announced this to his coach Adi Hütter (51) before the game in Leverkusen, according to BILD information.
Thuram had been talking to Inter Milan as a Lukaku replacement. Gladbach would have let him go for 35 million. But the striker (10 goals in 2019/20) has decided for Borussia!
With this only good Gladbach news it remains on Saturday evening. Everything goes wrong on the lawn that can somehow go wrong.
The deficit after just 132 seconds: Leverkusen’s Bakker hits the inside post. From there, the ball bounces off the back of the heel from Keeper Sommer and rolls into the goal. 1-0 for Leverkusen (3rd). Only five minutes later, Schick added the next goal.
Leverkusen is too strong, overrun Gladbach completely. And nothing else works at Borussia after conceding a slapstick goal.
► Bad luck with injuries: Ironically, Thuram has to leave the field after 20 minutes – probably a torn knee ligament. Shortly afterwards, Pléa twisted her knee, and then Ginter had to get out too. Before the break, Lainer is replaced – suspected broken ankle. With the final whistle, Bensebaini also leaves the field of play.

► Penalty mistake: Before the break, Borussia captain Lars Stindl (32) awards a hand penalty against Hradecky – shot very weak!
The strong Diaby closes the sack. Bensebaini fakes the Frenchman’s shot untenable for summer. Also unfortunate was the fourth goal conceded by Gladbach, in which Sommer was only able to fend off Amiri’s central shot into his own goal (87th).
Unlucky Yann Sommer (32) at Sky: “That was a really used evening for us. We were worse in many respects, two early goals, many unfortunate situations. “
Manager Max Eberl (47): “There are days when you would have preferred to stay at home.”
Trainer Adi Hütter (51): “A terrible evening for us.”
At least there is good news for Gladbach: Thuram stays.
