Bayern Munich are reclaiming their lost dominance this season. Last season, Bayer Leverkusen shocked everyone by winning not only the Bundesliga but also the DFB-Pokal, while Bayern were left without a single trophy. However, the Munich side are determined to turn things around.
After 12 Bundesliga matchdays, Bayern comfortably sit in first place with 30 points. They remain unbeaten in the league this season and have reached the Round of 16 in the DFB-Pokal with ease, defeating Mainz 4-0 and Ulm 4-0. However, over the weekend, Vincent Kompany’s side came close to their first loss but managed to salvage a 1-1 draw in Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund.
In the Champions League last week, Bayern secured a crucial 1-0 victory over PSG, following a similar 1-0 win against Benfica. In total, Bayern have accumulated 9 points in the group stage.
Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, are gradually improving their position. At the start of the season, the Werkself dropped points too often in matches against teams they were expected to beat. As a result, the reigning German champions currently sit third in the Bundesliga with 23 points, three points behind Bayern.
However, Bayer have picked up six points in their last two league matches. First, they pulled off a dramatic comeback against Heidenheim, winning 5-2 after trailing 0-2, and last weekend, they edged past Union Berlin with a 2-1 victory. In the DFB-Pokal, Bayer advanced by defeating Carl Zeiss Jena (1-0) and Elversberg (3-0).
In the Champions League, Xabi Alonso’s team had an impressive win over Red Bull Salzburg last week. With a total of 10 points, Bayer are currently sixth overall in the competition rankings.
