Xabi Alonso has quite a big responsibility in maintaining the performance and consistency of his squad, the threat from Bayern Munich does not play - play and at all costs Xabi Alonso must still maintain the position of his squad at the top of the standings, so the difference of 2 points I think it is still far from safe for Leverkusen, because if Leverkusen slipped in one of the next matches then obviously it was a golden opportunity for Tuchel's squad. We'll see if Leverkusen can be that strong.
Definitely this has to be the toughest part of been at the top of the table, the responsibility becomes even bigger because nat every slightest drop in point, they will be displaced by their biggest rival Bayern Munich who is closely behind them on the league table.
Leverkusen must make sure to continually win their subsequent matches such that they will be points ahead of Bayern Munich but this will be effective if only it turns out Bayern Munich losses their games as Bayern Leverkusen keeps winning but then one of the greatest test Bayern Leverkusen will be facing soonest will have to be that of winning Bayern Munich probably in their next meeting which I anticipate soonest.
Yeah.. Leverkusen leading the league comes with immense pressure, especially when a team like Bayern Munich, is suffocating. The fear of being dethroned by the toughest rival makes every point dropped feels like a major setback. Leverkusen maintaining the lead requires consistent winning, because it's not just about their own performance, but also the need to hope for Bayern Munich's stumbles. It's hard for Leverkusen to extend their lead by winning every game and hoping Bayern Munich loses.
I think the real test for Leverkusen lies on facing Bayern Munich directly. This will be a clash of titans, a battle between the top two teams in the league. Leverkusen must be at their absolute best to overcome their rivals and solidify their position at the top. One thing is for sure that the Bundesliga title race promises to be thrilling until the very end. Both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are exceptional teams, and every point earned, every goal scored, will be crucial in determining the champion.
