Xabi Alonso decision to bench Patrik Schick and Boniface clearly raises big questions, but it wasn't the only mistake that led to Leverkusen crushing defeat at the Allianz Arena. Conceding an early goal, Matej Kovar fatal error, Nordi Mukiele dismissal for two yellow cards, are some of the points that I think contributed to Leverkusen being thrashed 3-0 by Bayern Munich.
For sure the mistake from the Goalkeeper from Leverkusen was one of thethings that break them first , the total breaker was the red card to 100% .
But to be honest Leverkusen was not playing very well and good , they can do much more better as we all know.
Leverkusen clearly needs a miracle to turn things around in the second leg, and of course it's difficult to chase a 3-goal margin, even though they will be playing at home.
Although Xabi Alonso still looks optimistic, the fact is that Leverkusen chances are very low.
For the coming matchday on the Weekend Bayern Munich for sure has the easiest game against Bochum at home.
Leverkusen also plays at home but they have Werder Bremen.
Maybe we will see a miracle next week and a better playing Leverkusen.
