"Honestly, yes, because I simply believe in this team. Obviously, things didn't start well, but we've now created a good standing in the league, and also in Europe. But there's still a lot of room for improvement. We can do a lot more."
"I'm very proud of what the team have done in recent months. We're well-placed in all three competitions."
"The coaching staff, the bosses, the club - everyone has backed me. I'm really happy I've been able to give something back. It was incredible. I just saw the goal and then shot. And it worked! I definitely don't need any more Christmas presents. Today was the greatest present ever."
Malik Tillman never lost faith in Bayer Leverkusen's quality despite a miserable start that led to Erik ten Hag's swift sacking. Kasper Hjulmand replaced ten Hag in September and has guided Leverkusen into third place in the Bundesliga ahead of the winter break. Leverkusen are well placed to push for a spot in the Champions League knockout-stage play-offs. The team ended 2025 with a 3-1 comeback win over RB Leipzig, with Martin Terrier, Patrik Schick and debutant Montrell Culbreath scoring. Culbreath became Leverkusen's fourth-youngest Bundesliga goalscorer and described his debut as a dream.
