Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen - Friendly
The season has already started with Premier League clubs flying all over the globe to big up their international support despite moaning their players are tired.... Arsenal are no exception. Currently in the US playing pointless games against other Premier League sides just to sell $125 shirts (or jerseys as they call them) and other gear. Then it's back to London to play games against Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyonnais. I decided after years of not bothering to attend pre-season games to go to the Leverkusen game. Simply because it sees the return of Granit Xhaka that left a year ago to return to Germany, and chose Leverkusen. Last year they won the Bundesliga as Invincibles. Invincibles in Germany 2023/24 versus the only club to go a season without losing a single league game - Arsenal in 2003/04 for over 130 years in England. It's August 7th. Helen and I will have our own Emirates Stadium seats. For this game being aged over 65 got me a concession ticket. Win. Win. ...
