13.04.2012 DW KICK OFF Bernd Leno


Just 20 years old, Leno came on loan from Stuttgart when Leverkusen's first-team keeper and former Germany keeper René Adler went down with an injury. Then at the start of this year, Leno inked a 5-and-a-half year contract with Bayer. "I'm just happy to be here and haven't for a second regretted coming here," says Leno. So at least there's one player in the team who's having an outstanding season.
