No matter what anyone says, Bayer Leverkusen will have done a great job if they become champions this season. Whichever team can stop Bayern München's years-long domination in Germany is truly great.
Bayer Leverkusen is undefeated in 16 matches. Despite this, the point difference with Bayern München is only 4 and Bayern has one match less. So the potential point difference is only 1. The only team that could beat Bayern this season was Eintracht Frankfurt. We should give their credits too. Bayern München is now waiting for Leverkusen to make a mistake, like a predator waiting for its prey. When this pressure increases its influence on Leverkusen, they can make mistakes. Xabi Alonso should be commended just for being able to handle this properly. Not even half of the league is over yet. We cannot declare anyone a champion just yet, but this excitement will continue to increase.
