Bayer had 28 chances, whilest Borussia Monchengladbach had 6. This alone shows how one-sided the match was and Leverkusen should have win. They had a lot of clear chances. Their main striker Boniface is injured, so they contracted Borja Iglesias two days ago who will be in the squad for the next game.
Injuries hampered elite teams and caused them to slack back in performance. Is Victor Boniface injured? That is not to say that Leverkusen will not maintain their marvelous performance because they are currently the top team in Germany; we have seen these teams evolve to become untouchable. Borrusia Mönchengladbach felt pleased to hold the draw against the Bundesliga's leading club. Bayer Leverkusen attempted their absolute best, but nothing worked out for them; instead, they continue to have adverse outcomes against average teams, but superior opponents easily win them.
The injury suffered by the main striker has caused Bayer Leverkusen to not be very productive in scoring goals, even though Bayer Leverkusen's defense is quite strong, they also don't have to rely on the main striker alone because if Victor Boniface doesn't recover quickly, Bayer will have difficulty facing matches for the rest of this season. without these key players.
Bayer Leverkusen have become an elite team since they have been at the top for a long time and have not experienced defeat, but if Bayer's performance weakens, sooner or later Munich will overtake Bayer and return to the top, therefore Xabi must think hard about improving another striker's attack.
