It will be a chance of redemption at the top of the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich as they go to Bayer Leverkusen in Bayarena on Saturday. Bayern has currently led the eight -point league, so an outside victory could be sufficient to put the league out of reach for the men of Vincent Kompany. After having seen their race of 11 Bundesliga titles end last season in the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, it is a good way to put this firmly behind them while these clubs are fighting for supremacy not only in Germany, but in Europe Also.
Kompany quickly transformed Bayern’s attack fortunes with the help of Harry Kane’s 29 goals and 10 assists in 29 games in all competitions this season. Araound Kane other strong attackers like Leroy Sane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala bring a balance to the attack, so it is not surprising that this group was so difficult to stop. Meanwhile, for Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso modeled a flexible team which is just as comfortable to defend as the break to attack.
Even with Victor Boniface doing a little hindsight in the notations department this season, and flirting with a move to Saudi Arabia, Patrik Schick intensified the line with 14 goals from Bundesliga and Florian Wirtz continues to prove why the best young players in the world With nine goals and nine championship assists. Leverkusen also has the additional advantage of not needing to play football from the Champions League after this match because of the end of the league phase, unlike Bayern which won a 2-1 victory on Celtic during of the week.
But while this match is on which will win the Bundesliga this season, it is also the strength of the league as a whole. It can be difficult to keep Bayern Munich at a distance for too long given the club’s talent and resources, but under Alonso Leverkusen has proven that several Bundesliga teams can compete in the national and European season after the season. Borussia Dortmund is less than one year to play in the final of the Champions League and although their Bundesliga form has left a lot to be desired, if Dortmund can take care of their advance of three goals in the playoff phase, it could There are three German teams in the last 16 of the Champions League.
If this ends up being the case, the only league that would have a chance to put more teams in the last 16 times is the Premier League where Manchester City could be eliminated by Real Madrid. Having a worthy opinion at the top of the league only pushed Bayern to increase its own game and in turn, it was better for the league as a whole. There is still a lot to do so that Germany has its first UCL champions from Bayern Munich in 2019-2020, but it is a time when it looks like a possibility because this battle between Bayern and Leverkusen n ‘is not only for domestic success but to pave the means for continental triumphs too.
