Bundesliga: Bayern Munich brings Bayer Leverkusen back into the title fight

FC Bayern Munich’s lead in the Bundesliga has melted on six points. For Bayer Leverkusen, leaving the Champions League could become an advantage.

Bayer Leverkusen suddenly dreams of defending the title. After the last minute victory at VfB Stuttgart (4: 3), the “Werkelf” looked at Munich as so often in the past few weeks. In the Champions League, the German double winner against the record champion in both games was without a chance, the rival was hurried in the Bundesliga – and yet the championship is suddenly exciting again. Because Leverkusen cheered late and Munich failed at Union Berlin (1-1), a title race is still bought.

Robert Andrich: “Want to go on your bag as long as possible”

Bayer is currently missing six points in Bavaria, which is enough for the pursuer to send a clear message to the league leader. “We give everything to the end and will try to win every game. We’ll see.said Leverkusen’s national player Robert Andrich in the Sportschau interview.

However, his coach Xabi Alonso made it clear that it is not in the hands of his team whether excitement really comes up. “We’ll see if Bayern still gives us the chance. We will continue to go full throttle and make as much pressure as possible”said the Spaniard. Because it is clear: Munich no longer affords a slip, Leverkusen can do what it wants, nothing would happen.

Max Eberl emphasizes: title race not decided

Bayern middle field player Joshua Kimmich believes “Not that we get the tremor”as he said in the ZDF sports studio. However, his sports director Max Eberl warned: “The championship decided? You hear that again and again, but we still have to do the points to decide them.” And there could be something to Bayern from which they have freed Leverkusen themselves: the Champions League.

Both teams in the Bundesliga lost their home games between the two royal class duels. After the decision was made, Munich now let springs springs again. It would also be too human if the savings mode is unconsciously inserted in everyday league life in order to have all the necessary forces in the Champions League, where each game is almost a final.

FC Bayern has lost around Inter games that were lost last season

For Inter Milan, two of these games will soon be pending for FC Bayern, on April 8th and 16th there will be the duels against the Top Team. In between, Borussia Dortmund is a guest in the Bundesliga in Munich, then it goes to the 1. FC Heidenheim – these two games lost Bayern last season. And before the Champions League quarter-finals, the team of coach Vincent Kompany is a guest at FC Augsburg, who has been unbeaten for ten league games.

So the risk of stumbling for Munich is quite there, especially around the inter -on each other, which – played game for game – has a probably more important moment. Accordingly, Leverkusen can look at the coming weeks, but the team must also be aware that she is no longer allowed to slip – unlike last against Werder Bremen (0: 2).

Bayer Leverkusen is still in the DFB Cup

After the international break there is also a possible disruptive factor for Bayer with a view of the title fight, Arminia Bielefeld is about entering the final of the DFB Cup. Despite the surprises of the third division, the likelihood is greater, quite in such a dusty than when playing against Serie-A leader Inter Milan.

The “premier class” could be a great advantage for Leverkusen, the remaining program also looks like it as if it were one that could offer the pursuer new opportunities. However, Bayer has to wait for these occasions and must not leave any of them unused. Then the Champions League of the Bundesliga actually gives a title fight.
