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.
I also hope that Bayer Leverkusen is able to emerge as champions this season, to stop Bayern München from fighting for the Bundesliga title this season, I am very confident in the task given by Xabi Alonso in acting as a reliable tactician this season, it is very clear that Xabi Alonso is capable bringing Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga standings, even though they are only four points adrift of Bayern München, at least Bayer Leverkusen is able to play consistently in every match and remain focused on winning the title this season so that it doesn't fall into the hands of Bayern München again.
On the other hand, with everything we see now, especially with all the things that Leverkusen have done and achieved, there is nothing wrong with assuming with a little confidence that it is likely that Leverkusen have more chances than several other teams or even Dortmund to be able to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, which has always been able to secure the trophy at the end of the season.
Honestly, with the defense that Leverkusen has about the consistency they can always maintain, then with that I can confirm the greatness of Xabi Alonso, yes now Leverkusen only has a difference of 4 points with Bayern Munich, I don't think it matters even though the difference is not too significant because obviously we have seen evidence from several matches they have passed that they can always dominate the match by winning three full points or at least sharing points. Next up for Leverkusen is Augsburg which I don't think is a particularly difficult game for them, I'm pretty sure of that.
Leverkusen is of course playing well. And I don't know if I can say that they are actually playing better than Bayern Munich or not. But I believe that even if I say that they are playing better than Bayern Munich, it won't be true. Because they have to think about the Champions League as well. Leverkusen also has to think about other competitions but those are of course not as hard or competitive as the Champions League. A lot of people will agree that Bayern Munich still has a good chance of winning the title. After all, they have been doing it for the last 11 years.
Xabi Alonso has to be praised. He has made the team perform well even when he doesn't have the best of players for service. But that's what coaches are supposed to do, unlike a certain someone like Ten Hag
