It was a high profile match and it lived up to expectation. The draw wasn't really bad for both clubs. I'm just happy with the way the match ended, because that was exactly what I predicted before the match started. Bayer Leverkusen played the way an away team should play against a team like Bayern Munich.They were playing Bayern Munich and you don't expect them to come out fully and be playing with full attacking as Bayern Munich. If they had done that Bayern Munich would have won them. Bayern is a free scoring side and they would have scored more goals if Leverkusen didn't adopt the defensive approach that they did in that match. Leverkusen are satisfied with the outcome of the match.

I watched the match, Munich's ambition to get 3 points was very visible, they pressed Leverkusen in the early minutes so that they were less comfortable in controlling the ball, Alonso's squad was indeed under pressure but they still showed that it would not be easy to beat them, the defense that was built so solid and the tight attack built by Kompany's troops were unable to penetrate it, this draw is certainly fair for both teams who showed good performance in the match, I am increasingly convinced that the competition in the Bundesliga this season will be even tighter.

Leverkusen showed that they are still ready to defend the title this season, although in terms of ranking they are still below Bayern Munich because they had experienced a defeat when facing Leipzig, but the competition is still very long. This is a draw that feels like a victory for Leverkusen, because this is an away match which is not easy to take points from Bayern Munich's headquarters. Bayern Munich played hard to win, but Leverkusen's game was still disciplined enough to withstand every attack made by Bayern Munich apart from 1 goal that nested into their goal. Here you can see how Leverkusen is quite solid, because Bayern Munich recorded 18 attempts and only 3 of them managed to really go towards the goal.
