Facundo Medina celebrates dream debut with goal in his first home match

In Argentinian living rooms and smoky pubs a loud cheer rang out when Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s stadium heard the shot of its Argentine new signing Facundo Medina for the first time, as he celebrated his starting‑XI debut in the home match against Union and immediately scored an important goal.

Debut, Experience and Voices

Facundo Medina celebrated his starting‑XI debut for Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga with a precise shot that resulted in a goal in the first home match against Union Berlin.

After a difficult season at Olympique Marseille, where he barely featured in the regular lineup, his debut could hardly have gone better. The new signing immediately showed that he can reach the level of the German league.

At the 2026 World Cup, Medina was for long periods a regular member of the Argentine national team. His experience as a defender from international competition should give Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s regular squad additional security.

“I am really very happy,” said Facundo Medina after his dream debut.

“Honestly, I am happy for the team, for the group and for the effort we have shown. It was important to win here at home. We have to get used to that. Now it goes on.”

“I especially appreciate the effort, the self‑sacrifice and the commitment. We are really a group.” The enthusiasm from Argentinian living rooms and pubs shows that Medina is not only a sporting but also a cultural asset for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Long live the new defender, who already strengthens the team.
