Alex Grimaldo - Sends in three crosses Grimaldo took an off target shot and crossed three times inaccurately during Saturday's 3-2 win over Leipzig.

Impact Grimaldo was held off the scoresheet lining up at left wing-back for his competitive debut with the club. Grimaldo has often been one of the better attacking fullbacks in Europe, but has competition for attacking output in a talented Leverkusen squad and may not see the same role on set pieces as he did during his time at Benfica.
