At the beginning of this season, we saw Leverkusen's inconsistent performance. We thought that Leverkusen might not be able to compete for the title this season. But gradually we can see Bayer Leverkusen's improvement. With the help of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen is now quite strong. And now the team is competing for the title.
Yes they got not so an good start into the season and League , but lately as you have written they improved there playing and game.
Its not only the help from Xabi Alonso , also Florian Wirtz has got an huge impact on that the last weeks.
About the race for the title i would say the first 4 or 5 places are still not out of that and there are still a lot of games left in this season.
