And so far, from 29 matches of game away, they are still unbeaten, the results are actually quite good. But if to win the championship like last season, this time it is much more difficult because Bayern Munich has returned to its best form since the beginning.

It is 29 games now? Wow, hell of a streak again! Grin

But even this impressive work won't be enough for a back-to-back title most probably. Bayern Munich are really difficult to be stopped in the Bundesliga. Even Leverkusen couldn't beat them home despite playing completely one-sided. The gap is 8 points. But I must say I really admired Leverkusen's game against Frankfurt. As long as Xabi Alonso stays for longer years I don't think Leverkusen will drop down from being a serious title contender. Another thing I wonder is whether they will lose their best players this summer (such as Wirtz etc.).

Yes, this is the problem. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich's main game since the beginning of the season has been that consistent, they are very different from what they experienced last season. In fact, they are much more solid and strong this season, never having been defeated in the Bundesliga so far. Therefore, if they are to chase the Bundesliga title again, it seems impossible for them. At most, Leverkusen still has a chance for the FB Pokal trophy.

While Leverkusen's condition at the beginning of the season was quite weak, especially in their defense line which was quite down, with the number of goals conceded at that time. Then, because of several injury issues that started the season, while the club did not have many reserve players who were that strong.
