Right now, Bayer Leverkusen is soaring to the top of the Bundesliga, and Xabi Alonso’s team is about to shatter some ridiculous Bundesliga records.
Bayern Munich has won the last 11 league titles, making them the dominant team in German football for more than ten years. But the likelihood that they won’t succeed this season is growing.
Leverkusen leads the standings by eight points right now, and they don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
They have only allowed 15 goals in 22 games thus far, which gives them by far the best defensive record in the league. At this point in the season, Alonso’s team is still the only unbeaten team in the top five leagues in Europe.
Alonso is firmly staying grounded for the time being, despite Leverkusen’s undeniable dominance in the league.
When asked about Leverkusen’s chances of winning the title, Alonso responded to reporters, “We’ll talk in May.” “We need to maintain our groundedness and be practical.
“I lead a fantastic team. The important thing is that we have a lot of energy. Nothing is hidden. The players have faith, and that is what we desire.
Liverpool is naturally interested in Alonso as they look to replace Jurgen Klopp, given their stellar league record this year.
This season, we’ve looked more closely at Bayer Leverkusen and found seven ridiculous records that the team might break.
– Alonso’s team may make Bundesliga history by being the first to finish a season undefeated. They will break this remarkable record if they win all 12 of their remaining games.
– Leverkusen tied Bayern for the longest unbeaten streak in all competitions (34 games) after their most recent victory over Heidenheim. They will break this record against Mainz if they manage to avoid losing.
– The team is predicted to finish with 90 points for the season based on their current record for points scored per game. In Bundesliga history, this would be the second-highest point total attained. The only team to finish with a better total (91 points) in 2012–13 was Bayern Munich.
– The team is rapidly approaching its highest-ever point total. With 73 points, Leverkusen had their best-ever Bundesliga season in 1999–00. They are currently expected to surpass that total by a massive 17 points.
– By becoming the first team to ever win the Bundesliga, Europa League, and DFB-Pokal in the same season, Alonso’s team has the potential to create history.
– Leverkusen will achieve 88 league goals this season if they can continue to score 2.59 goals per game. That would be the most points the team has ever scored in a Premier League season.
– They are only expected to give up 23 goals this season, having only given up 15 goals thus far. It would be the fewest goals Leverkusen has ever given up in a Bundesliga campaign.
