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.
Although basically Leverkusen has proven to be able to undergo a good season with the strength of performance and extraordinary consistency but on the other hand the season will still continue and that means we cannot fully conclude that Leverkusen will be able to seize the dominance of the title from Bayern Munich, meaning that any situation and condition is still very possible, of course this is the hardest part, as we know that it is more difficult to maintain than to achieve, the higher you climb the tree the bigger the wind will hit you.
Yes it is true that Leverkusen must be able to ensure that they will be able to secure or dominate the next few matches they will play, but on the other hand suddenly doubts arise from me because the next match Leverkusen will face Dortmund and VfB, maybe we also know that these two teams are in good form now, especially Dortmund who has always competed closely with Bayern Munich in terms of fighting for the end of season title. So maybe Xabi Alonso should prepare something unusual to face those two matches, and also on the other hand it is true that the match that is waiting for is Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich in the next match, although in the previous match they ended up sharing points but maybe the next situation will be very different, which is where the end of the season is close and it is decisive.
Since past 11 seasons that Bayern Munich have dominated the German Bundesliga, the only the club that's been a strong contender against the Germa champions has been Borussia Dortmund and the closest they came to ending Bayern Munich's dominance was last season that they only needed to win their last home game of the season to be crowned champions of Germany but unfortunately for them, they failed to win their last game if the season while Bayern Munich win theirs to become eventual winners. Of all these 11 seasons, none of them have Borussia Dortmund started the season on a better note than Bayer Leverkusen has done this season and that's why I think that Xabi Alonso's men might just be the team that's finally gonna end Bayern Munich's dominance.
Ending Bayern Munich's dominance this season will be a very difficult task considering the quality of players in the squad and the fact that Harry Kane is currently firing from all cylinders but with what performance we've seen from Bayer Leverkusen so far this season, I think they're very capable to achieve that feat.
