Unfortunately for Leverkusen, they can widen the gap with Bayern. They dropped points when they were held to a draw by Dortmund. Bayern will be determined to regain the top spot, but even if that happens, they will still be level on points in the rankings. Leverkusen are not allowed to make any mistakes again because Bayern is in relatively good form compared to the beginning of the season. Leverkusen is hoping this season can overthrow the Bayern empire that has always dominated this tournament. They need to try to make this arena more interesting. That's something Dortmund failed to do last season.
I would say the opposite, unlucky for Dortmund who took the lead first but in the end conceded too. As a result, the match ended with a score of 1-1. although actually if we talk tactically and technically, Leverkusen is much better than Dortmund. But in football, that's not all that is needed, but how to break through the opponent's goal. Luck factor, comes into play in this situation.
However, as a neutral fan, I like Bayer Leverkusen's style of play. The system that Alonso built for his team is very impressive. especially, the match against Dortmund. So it's only natural that Leverkusen has performed well so far. In fact, they are unbeaten in 13 matches. a consistency that we should appreciate, for the coach and the players.
Unfortunately, Bayern Munich can currently be said to be a team that is on fire. they started to be consistent, solid and strong enough. Moreover, now Neuer has returned. For me, Bayern Munich still has the highest chance of retaining the trophy this season. btw, I'm not a fan of The Bavarians. However, Bayern Munich performed well. plus, have one game postponed. which means, Bayern can at any time match the points that Leverkusen has scored. In fact, it does not rule out the possibility of getting rid of the position occupied by Leverkusen.
and if Alonso is now targeting the Bundesliga trophy, they must be consistent throughout this season. they had to pay for it with hard work, and overthrew Bayern in the second meeting at BayArena. Let's just wait, after all, this competition still has a long match schedule.
