Patrik Schick struck twice in just three minutes to hand Bayer Leverkusen a crucial away win and put them firmly on course for the Champions League last 16.
Patrik Schick scored a rapid double to lead Bayer Leverkusen to a 2–0 victory over Olympiacos FC in their Champions League playoff first leg.
The Czech striker opened the scoring on the hour mark with a calm finish before heading home his second minutes later from an Alex Grimaldo corner — his first-ever Champions League brace.
Schick’s latest goals take his tally to four in his last six matches in the competition, highlighting his growing influence for the German side.
Leverkusen also came close earlier, hitting the crossbar in an intense first half, but Schick’s clinical finishing ultimately made the difference.
The German club now heads into the return leg at home with a strong advantage and a clear path toward the Champions League round of 16.
