Leverkusen are really pretty impressive so far. Xabi Alonso is just continuing from where he left. I'm curious about one thing as well. Can they stay in the title race until the end? After seeing them performing really decently in Allianz Arena and stealing a point from them too I started to think about this possibility more.
Leverkusen wouldn't do like Dortmund did at the end in my opinion. They would play much stronger if they play a championship game on the final week of the season. Therefore Bayern Munich had better be as consistent as possible if they don't want to see their title streak ending.
We'll find out, as the competition progresses until the end of the season. Speaking of Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown the consistency of his team in the last 5 matches. in fact, when they faced the Bundesliga giants at the Allianz Arena, the home of Bayern Munich. they put up quite a fierce resistance, even being able to match Bayern Munich and ending with a score of 2-2. Currently, Leverkusen can enjoy its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings. However, we cannot predict what will happen in their matches in various competitions. and that is what I am considering.
In the next three days, Leverkusen will play their match in the Europa League competition. It should be an easy match for them. Moreover, the match will be held at their own home BayArena. Well, in the future, their schedule will be even tighter. and what is certain, will have an impact on the overall fitness and performance of the team. So, I don't want to be too quick to speculate that they are strong contenders for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Let's just follow how far Xavi Alonso will take his squad.
On the Bayern side, IMO, I haven't seen them show their best performance and appearance. Thomas Tuchel's team has the potential to grow further as they play match after match. Moreover, Bayern Munich has a winning mentality in this competition. However, that doesn't mean Lerverkusen or other teams can't break their dominance. So, to be sure, let's just follow every development in this Bundesliga competition. and hopefully, this competition will present an interesting rivalry like last season between Bayern and Dortmund.
