Bayer Leverkusen is experiencing its best season in many years. Under coach Xavi Alonso it leads the Bundesliga.

The court of the German Football Association accused fans of displaying a huge inappropriate sign. The sign was already raised in November in a match against Werder Bremen and it read: "There are all kinds of music, but there are only two genders" The group sided with the association's opinion that people should not be discriminated against based on their sexual orientation and humbly accepted the fine of 18 thousand euros.
