Leverkusen vs. Bayern: The clash atop the Bundesliga is about more than just who will win Germany’s title

It will be a chance for redemption on top of the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich while they travel to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bayarena on Saturday. Bayern is currently leading the competition with eight points, so a victory out of the way here can be enough to bring out the competition for the men of Vincent Kompany. After seeing their run of 11 Bundesliga titles ending last season through the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, this is a good way to leave it hard, because these clubs not only in Germany, but also in Europe, but also in Europe fighting.

Kompany quickly reversed Bayern’s attacking fortunes with the help of the 29 goals of Harry Kane and 10 assists in 29 games in all matches this season. Araound Kane other strong attackers such as Leroy Sane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala balance the attack, so it is no surprise that this group has been so difficult to stop. In the meantime, Xabi Alonso has formed a flexible team for Leverkusen that is just as comfortable to defend when they go to the break to attack.

Even with Victor Boniface this season a bit a step back in the scoring department and flirts with a move to Saudi Aarabia, Patrik Schick has been performed to lead the line with 14 Bundesliga goals and Florian Wirtz continues to prove why he is one of the IS. The best young players in the world with nine goals and nine assists in competition game. Leverkusen also has the extra advantage that he does not have to play after this game to play Champions League football because of the end in the top eight of the competition phase, in contrast to Bayern who come a 2-1 win over Celtic during the week.

But although this competition is about who will win the Bundesliga this season, it is also about the power of the competition as a whole. It may be difficult to keep Bayern Munich at a distance too long, given the talent and resources of the club, but Leverkusen has proven under Alonso that several Bundesliga teams can compete after season after season in the Domestic and European Front season. Borussia Dortmund is less than a year away from playing in the Champions League final and although their Bundesliga shape has a lot to be desired, if Dortmund can take care of their three goals in the Playoff phase, there can be three German teams in the Last 16 of Champions League.

If that is the case, the only competition that would have a chance to place more teams in the last 16 is the Premier League where Manchester City can be eliminated by Real Madrid. Having a worthy advice on top of the competition only pushed Bayern to increase their own game and in turn it was better for the competition in general. There is still plenty to do to have Germany its first UCL champions since Bayern Munich in 2019-20 way for continental triumphs too.
