Xabi Alonso has studied the increasingly productive direction of Bayern Munich game under Kompany, and he is also very aware that his rival's strength has increased significantly compared to last season. Implementing a defensive strategy and counterattacking when there is an opportunity is the best decision, because it is very difficult to beat Munich when they are in top form, especially when acting as hosts. A fair result for both teams, Munich struggled to find a winning goal despite dominating the match for most of the time due to Leverkusen solid defense. As for Alonso, this result was as expected.

Going to Allianz Arena this season and getting a draw is a result no team had ever achieved before Bayer Leverkusen's visit last weekend and getting a point in that game is a strong proof that everything you said about Xabi Alonso concerning that game is nothing but the truth. The young Spanish manager seems to have more experience about coaching than we initially think of him which was why he successfully ended Bayern Munich winning streak in the Bundesliga this season.

Before that game, I was sceptical if Bayer Leverkusen will be able to strongly challenge the current league leaders Bayern Munich but after that game, I became very convinced that the reigning German champions still has all it takes to retain the league title
