That's right, the pressure Laverkusen has put on Bayern Munchen this season is very different from what Dortmund put on them in previous seasons. The point difference has been created, the hope of overtaking the top position is still very possible, and it is still quite open. However, Bayern must get up and forget yesterday embarrassing defeat, and must continue to consistently secure point after point while waiting for Laverkusen to stumble. But so far, we still see Xabi Alonso squad continuing their unbeaten trend, this fierce competition is really making Tuchel unhappy and having difficulty sleeping soundly.
This is really unexpected that Bayern is the one who underpressure by other team. But I dont think this will last for a long time remembering Bayern's history who will always be the winner at the end of season. However, This is a new dynamic to the Bundesliga, and the pressure on Bayern seems more pronounced compared to previous seasons. The call for Bayern to bounce back from their recent embarrassing defeat is crucial, and as you rightly pointed out, consistency will be key.
In football, overcoming setbacks is part of the journey, and Bayern must regroup and focus on securing points in the upcoming matches. The reference to Xabi Alonso's squad maintaining an unbeaten trend reflects the strength and resilience of Bayer Leverkusen. Their consistency is making the title race more intense and keeping the pressure on Bayern. The new competitive nature of the Bundesliga, especially with Xabi Alonso putting a strong challenge, can be mentally taxing for managers like Tuchel.
