What Xabi Alonso and his team are doing is very extraordinary. They are making Bayern Munich look like they are having a bad season but where Bayern Munich is also having a very good season as well. The title race is getting very tight and I think the match that would have the most impact on the title race is the match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen mid february.
The German people are getting to see a very exciting season after a long time. As a neutral fan as well, it has been very enjoyable to see the German league. Bayer Leverkusen may even win the Europa League but their biggest hurdle will be Liverpool. But the way they are performing now, they might even beat Liverpool.
Yes, I admit that Xabi Alonso is indeed an extraordinary coach because of his ability to build Leverkusen into a club that is not easily beaten by any club. Even Bayern Munich, which is the strongest club in the Bundesliga, could not beat Leverkusen and could only achieve a draw even though at that time Bayern Munich already have Harry Kane but Bayern Munich still seems to have difficulty beating Leverkusen, but it looks like the second meeting this season will be the most crucial match where Leverkusen will be the home team and Bayern Munich will be the visiting team. This match is indeed profitable for Leverkusen but Bayern Munich must have developed a new strategy to beat Leverkusen or will both of them return to a draw??
Of course, seeing Leverkusen play impressively this season and seeing Bayern Munich struggling to occupy first place makes watching the Bundesliga interesting because many people's want the Bundesliga to be a competitive league and not only controlled by Bayern Munich.
