If this was a narrow defeat with a score of 1-0 or 2-1 it wouldn't be embarrassing enough but 3-0 is the score where Bayern Munich has lost face in this match. They did not endanger Leverkusen's goal in the slightest and it was Leverkusen who destroyed their goal with 3 goals without reply. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be this weak when facing their rivals to win the Bundesliga title this season. Xabi Alonso seems to have no gaps and he can always provide impressive performances through his players.
Munich controlled the ball but Leverkusen controlled the match. Absolutely amazing! Statistics show that Munich was only able to make 1 shot on target tonight. I was surprised at how outstanding Leverkusen were tonight. They really answered people's doubts. Now I am even more confident they will win the championship this season. Winning 5 points in the Bundesliga will be very difficult for Munich to catch. Leverkusen are completely unbeaten this season and I also believe they will break Munich's record for longest unbeaten run.
A highly anticipated match and in the end we know who the winner is, yes it's Leverkusen. I think many are happy with this result, of course for Bayern Munich supporters they will feel very disappointed, but I mean those who are Bundesliga lovers who want someone to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.
It's going to be an interesting season, with everyone looking forward to seeing if Leverkusen can actually become the team to win for the first time in decades. Leverkusen must be feeling a breath of fresh air, but I hope they don't take too long to celebrate, because they still have a long way to go to actually be on the championship stage.
Munich's weaknesses have actually become apparent this season. The 3-goal defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Munich's top brass. In the game, you can really feel the difference in tactics used by the two teams. However, Xabi is a maestro, he plays a fluid strategy where players can change positions quickly to create opportunities which are converted into goals.
The big question is, will Munich try to redeem Xabi's clause from Leverkusen next season? Munich always does this to buy players and even rival coaches so they can dominate the Bundesliga.
Regarding redemption matters such as Xabi's clause from Leverkusen next season, it is still unclear at this time because Bayern Munich itself is definitely focused on reducing the points gap with Bayer Leverkusen, which at this time has become five points after Bayern Munich lost badly at Leverkusen's home ground. However, that doesn't mean that what you say won't come true next season because remember that Bayern Munich is a team that has enough money to bring in the players they want even though they have to go through a fairly well-planned business route.
Now this is also very interesting to be discussed about whether then Bayern Munich will redeem Xabi or not. As you said they always want to have the best and what they do is buy them from rival teams, especially players. A lot of Bayern Munich players come from rival teams, especially Borussia Dortmund.
But this is still a big question, because Tuchel is relatively new with Bayern Munich since he was appointed as coach. But it is not impossible if in the end Bayern Munich will force themselves to be able to appoint Xabi and fire Tuchel.
