Bayer Leverkusen had a solid season, where it managed to qualify for another Champions League campaign, following a 4th-place finish. Unlike the previous season, it failed to actively challenge for the Bundesliga title for the second year running, also going out of the Champions League already in the group stage.

The most important players of the season included Oliver Neuville, who scored 15 goals, plus attacking midfielder Michael Ballack, who cemented his position as Germany's new dominant playmaker.
