LEVERKUSEN (dpa-AFX) - The broadcast of Bayer Leverkusen's run to the Europa League final has once again brought TV station RTL strong ratings. The 2:2 (0:1) in the semi-final second leg against AS Roma on Thursday evening was watched by an average of 4.96 million people, according to the Koln-based broadcaster. The market share was 21.4 percent, just below the previous week's figure for the semi-final first leg.

RTL will also show the final of the second most important club competition in the European Football Union. On May 22 (9 p.m.), Leverkusen will face the Italian club Atalanta Bergamo, who beat Olympique Marseille in the semi-final, in Dublin./mms/DP/ngu
