Ten Bundesliga match days before the end of the season, FC Bayern are ten points behind the top of the table. A deficit that can hardly be caught up.
Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-0 win was unspectacular. Cologne, which had been decimated for a long time, did not represent a major hurdle for the league leaders, who are alone at the top. Because of FC Bayern’s mistake on Friday evening (2-2 in Freiburg), the gap between the current title holders and the Werkself is now an almost unbridgeable ten points.
With ten games left, Bayer, who are still unbeaten, could afford three defeats – and would still be champions at the end of the season. The 24th matchday dashed any hopes the Bayern fans had. And yet there are teams that could become a stumbling block for Leverkusen.
But FC Bayern also still has to play against top opponents, for example they host BVB on Easter Saturday (matchday 27), receive SGE a month later (matchday 31) and then face the surprise team from Stuttgart a week later (matchday 32). .
Both teams are also still represented in Europe. Bayern are threatened with elimination after the 0-1 defeat in the first leg at Lazio Rome, Leverkusen should easily overcome the Qarabag Agdam round of 16 hurdle.

In any case, the chances are very good that Xabi Alonso will achieve something historic with Bayer Leverkusen. Not just winning the championship title for the very first time in the club’s history. But at the same time to break Munich’s dominance in the league, which has been ongoing since 2013.
