>>> Update ticker here <<<

Update from August 11th, 9.10 a.m.: In the quarter-finals against Inter Milan , Bayer Leverkusen had to admit defeat 1: 2 in the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf.

Bayer 04 are narrowly eliminated by Inter Milan: Leverkusen fans notice mega faux pas on RTL

The lack of support from fans was nothing new for players and fans , which is why RTL switched on the fan atmosphere during the TV broadcast , in which the viewer should be offered a normal background noise despite the empty stadium . But many Bayer fans were angry because of the artificially recorded fan chants in the background of the game.

Unlike with Sky * during the Geister Bundesliga *, the fan atmosphere could not be switched off manually and ran for the entire game. What triggered the anger among the Leverkusen supporters, however, were some fan chants, which, however, came from the fans of Leverkusen's arch-rival 1. FC Köln. So Cologne chants mixed with the artificial Leverkusen battle cries.

Okay, Cologne chants are a little provocative 😂😂 # InterB04

Since the game took place in Düsseldorf, hardly anyone would have dared to play the sounds of the Düsseldorf local rival from the cathedral city . RTL actually did not intend the huge faux pas , as the broadcaster resorted to a UEFA offer. The fans of 1. FC Köln *, who don't get to see their team nearly as often on the international stage as the Leverkusen-based fans, probably laughed up their sleeves.

UEFA lets Cologne fan chants run at Inter Milan against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. It is such an infinitely pathetic attempt to replace mood. And then you embarrass yourself again on two levels. Incredible 😂 # UEL # InterB04

In the second round, Kai Havertz and Co. can stand up to the Italians, but rarely come up with clear options. Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky keeps the Werkself in the game with some strong saves. Curious: Inter are awarded two penalties, but the Spanish referee del Cerro takes both back after consulting the video assistant. Overall, Inter was ultimately the more mature and hardened team, courageous Leverkusen are the last remaining German team to leave.
