Bayer 04 Leverkusen bounced back from the nearly disastrous season it came from, finishing in the top three and qualifying for theUEFA Champions League in the process. The season marked the breakthrough for Bulgarian strikerDimitar Berbatov, who scored 16 goals, whereas Brazilian signingFrança contributed with 14 strikes. As it was, it was the attack that impressed the most, especially in the 6–2 crushing of championsWerder Bremen on the penultimate day of the season.
