Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, will be wondering what happened to his side's good form from last week and perhaps regretting starting James Trafford in goal, whose error playing out from the back led directly to the visitors' second goal.

Eintracht Frankfurt finished just one place behind Leverkusen last season, as they finished third in the Bundesliga and qualified for the 2025/26 Champions League. 

The loss of star striker Hugo Ekitike is bound to hurt them over the course of the season, but a home tie against Werder Bremen is a great chance to get three points on the board on the opening weekend.
