""I think it's the best goal of my career. I'm very happy to have helped the team with it. Especially in a game like this," Terrier said. "I was actually too quick at the start for Arthur's cross. Then I saw the ball behind me and thought to myself: 'OK, I'll just go for it now'. "I took the chance and it worked. In French, by the way, a goal like that is called a coup du scorpion.""
""It wasn't an easy game. We needed a great performance to get the three points. The players who came in had a good impact. I'm proud of the team. After the defeat at Augsburg, the win was very important for us.""
"Leverkusen have now lost just one of their last 24 Bundesliga matches against promoted sides - a 1-2 home defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in March 2021. Since then, the Werkself are unbeaten in 17 consecutive games against promoted teams (W12 D4), which is their club record, and only RB Leipzig have a longer current run in the league (38)."
Martin Terrier scored a scorpion kick in the 66th minute from Arthur's cross to put Bayer Leverkusen ahead against Koln, with Robert Andrich adding a second six minutes later. The win snapped Leverkusen's two-game losing run in the Bundesliga. Terrier, whose first season at the club was disrupted by injury after his 2024 move from Rennes, called the strike the best goal of his career and said he seized a split-second opportunity. Manager Kasper Hjulmand praised the substitutes' impact and said the team needed a strong performance to secure the three points. Leverkusen remain unbeaten in 17 matches against promoted sides.
