Intense excitement before the Bundesliga top match between Bayer Leverkusen and 1. FC Köln!
As a present Effzeh supporter confirmed to the 'Express', strip searches were conducted on some of the traveling away fans in front of the BayArena. Numerous Cologne fans are reporting similar experiences on 'X'.

Out of solidarity, more supporters are staying away from the match. Even ultras who were already inside the stadium immediately began their journey home.
According to 'Sky', 500-600 Köln fans have now withdrawn from the venue.
Asked about the intense checks, Bayer CEO Fernando Carro explained in a 'Sky' interview that he had heard about them. However, he currently does not know any details and therefore wants to trust the police and security forces.
