The Western German club finished four times in second place between 1997 and 2002, but never succeeded in taking the first title in history.

However, even more impressive than their resistance to the league was that of the 2001/02 season in the Champions League.

In that year, Klaus Toppmöller's team finished a point after Dortmund in the championship, but were so close to winning the most important European trophy.

Leverkusen also lost in the DFB Pokal final, becoming one of the few teams to the opportunity to win the triple, end up with nothing.
