The Legacy

Bayer Leverkusen finished eighth in the Bundesliga in 1987-1988, but achieved their greatest success by winning the UEFA Cup. Erich Ribbeck managed a side anchored by goalkeeper Rüdiger Vollborn and the attacking threat of Cha Bum-kun. Christian Schreier provided stability in midfield, alongside the work rate of Wolfgang Rolff. The team overcame a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Espanyol in the final, winning on penalties to claim the trophy. Wearing this away kit, the group secured their place in European history despite an unremarkable domestic league finish.
