Bayer Leverkusen enjoyed a resounding 4-0 victory over Feyenoord in their Champions League debut on Thursday, thanks to a stellar performance from Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz opened the scoring for Leverkusen in the fifth minute, capitalizing on a pass from Robert Andrich. Alex Grimaldo doubled the lead in the 30th minute, assisted by Jeremie Frimpong. Wirtz completed his brace six minutes later, converting a pass from Unkai to extend Leverkusen’s advantage.
