36 games; 103 goals and 0 losses in total.... This is just an insane form by Leverkusen. Shocked

The impact Xabi Alonso has made on this team is just huge. It is really hard to describe.

Bayern Munich got a whopping 8-1 win against Mainz last week maybe but this hasn't changed anything about the gap with Leverkusen in the standings anyway. The only thing Bayern Munich can do to complete the season and move on in their life with their second position. Even that position is under the threat of Stuttgart a little as the gap is only four points. But I assume Bayern Munich wouldn't lose their current placement at least.

Watching Xabi Alonso make this team invincible is a football management masterclass. Talent and strategy are impressive here. Even an 8-1 win by Bayern Munich barely affects the standings, which is absurd. Bayern's condition is perilous with Stuttgart pressing them, but I doubt they'll drop from second
Leverkusen nearly lost to Karabakh, but they still dominate. Champion teams win even on their off days. Bayern's recent wins suggest a revival, but it's too late for the Bundesliga crown. However, the Champions League is different, and if Tuchel's team clicks, who knows? The Bundesliga is over, but the UCL could save them

Yes, Leverkusen nearly lost their match against Karabakh, but I think they will prevail. If you watch a Leverkusen game, you can tell when they want to score goals because of the way they play. They will alter their style of play and you will witness that all of the attacking players will not go back. Leverkusen always manages to win every game they play; Karabakh is just a small team that Leverkusen will defeat. This season, Alonso has elevated Leverkusen to the top team in the world, and the way they are playing these days indicates that they will undoubtedly win the league title.

While I am aware that Bayern Munich is trying to fool people by scoring eight goals in a single game, the truth is that I am not impressed with their performance because they are still a team that many smaller teams have defeated this season. Despite their best efforts, they are unable to win the league title because Leverkusen has 10 points more than them. While 10 points may not seem like much, Leverkusen is a very good team, so Bayern Munich should just play to qualify for the Champions League the following season.
