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.
You are right. Xabi Alonso deserves to be respected seriously. He lifts the team to be unbeatable. Leverkusen are doing great currently, and even in the standings, they are at the top with 42 points; however, Bayern Munchen are the second with 38 points, so I think Bayern Munchen still have a lot to do. The fact that Leverkusen are doing excellent and unbeatable makes me believe that Bayern Munchen will not be a challenge for them at this time since they are already at the top of the standings. I think they will continue dominating in their matches as they have been doing throughout the season, and I believe they won’t try to make a mistake that will make their point drop and leave that position to another team. However, let's see who will be the champion. We can’t conclude yet, but I believe Leverkusen will continue dominating.
