Leverkusen is indeed a good club and its performance is quite convincing this season. but it is true what you say if Bayern is actually still above Leverkusen regarding the ability of its players. In the last match which ended in a draw, Bayern actually had a 2-1 lead. However, it was very unfortunate that at the end of injury time, they made a mistake and were very unlucky. So Leverkusen got the final kick which made it a goal.
I Think Leverkusen recent success, it is obvious that they have not yet reached Bayern Munich level. Munich stands out due to their consistent dominance in the Bundesliga and strong player pool. Leverkusen is improving, but more work needs to be done before they can threaten Munich dominance. Leverkusen has made improvement, though, and with more perseverance and consistency, they may someday be considered serious competitors. Bayern Munich continues to dominate the Bundesliga for the time being.
Yes, even though Bayer Leverkusen still hasn't reached the level and/or quality of Bayern Munich, at least Bayer Leverkusen managed to put up a good fight in yesterday match, which is also a good result for Bayer Leverkusen. After all, with results like that, at least this season Bayern Munich will also have strong competitors in the title race in the Bundesliga. At least, with Bayer Leverkusen having performance that continues to improve like this, it will certainly make competition in the race for the Bundesliga title still competitive because Bayern Munich will also be required to be better again and again throughout this season.
@Jateng It is definitely a little foolish to expect them to perform at the same level as Bayern Munich. Maybe if Xabi Alonso is the coach of this team for 2/3 more seasons, he will be able to take this team close to the level of Bayern Munich. But even then I doubt that they will actually be able to perform as well as/better than Bayern Munich. But it is good to see that another club has emerged which can give big problems to Bayern Munich. At the same time, it is probably not going to be a good thing to assume that it will happen. Maybe we should wait for a little longer to see how they perform throughout the whole season.
