Once again, Leverkusen proved that they are an unbeatable team this season and the 0-2 win away from home against Darmstadt meant that Leverkusen continued to maintain the point difference from Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso seemed to never run out of ideas to win and therefore Leverkusen won convincingly. The absence of Victor Boniface did not make it difficult for them to adapt to the new rotation and Iglesias, who only arrived this winter as a second-string striker, played quite well even though he had not scored a goal in his debut match.

Leverkusen's two winning goals were scored by Tella and even though he replaced Frimpong on the right wing, the results were very satisfying. This proves that Leverkusen's depth does not only depend on a few key players and that when needed to score a goal, players in any position can do it. Next week will be a tense match and this will be one of the determinants to increase the chances of who will become Bundesliga champions this season and yes, I mean the match between Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich. Wink

Xabi Alonso managed to build a squad with a good philosophy, working collectively as a team, like when we read the Lverkusen player profiles we find them all on the first page. A solid foundation produces an unbeatable team, Xabi succeeded in polishing Leverkusen into an ideal example of how a team should work. Their latest victory over Darmstadt confirmed their position for the umpteenth time at the top of the standings, the real test will come next week. It's true that the big match between Leverkusen and Bayern will determine the top of the standings, and of course affect their future chances of winning the trophy.

A match that is difficult to predict, perhaps if we refer to the first half of the season, where they played a draw is no longer relevant. Currently Leverkusen is still untouched by defeat, at the same time we still believe that the depth of Bayern squad can break the good trend of Xabi fleet. Even though a draw sounds fair enough, what is clear is that both teams want an additional 3 points. I just want to see, how this match will end, if anyone wants to bet it is better to do it with full consideration.

I've been following the development at Bayer Leverkusen since the start of the season and I don't know if I'm the only one who's finding it very difficult to believe that a young manager like Xabi Alonso can be this tactically efficient. For a manager of his kind level of experience, I wasn't expecting him to always come up with the best idea on how to make the team get good results even when they're not at their best but contrary to my expectations, Xabi Alonso always knows what to do at the every given moment and that's the reason why they've been flourishing since the start of the season.
Bayer Leverkusen's win today away at Darmstadt is another proof that they are very determined to end Bayern Munich's dominance in the German league and win the Bundesliga title this season.
