The myth of Alonso continues!The 42-year-old legend started unbeaten in 25 games and made his halfway championship dream come true
Bayer Leverkusen, Girona and Aston Villa are all favourites to compete in Europe's top five and will all be hoping that all three will emerge from the current Premier League rankings. The one that is getting the most attention at the moment is of course Bayer Leverkusen, 42-year-old Xavi Alonso, who have already won half of the German league, which has also made it very difficult for them to play in the league for 12 seasons.
In their last league game, Bayer Leverkusen picked up 42 points after a 4-0 thrashing of Bochum away and took the top spot in the German league with a four-point advantage. This means that they will finish first in a race. Bayer Leverkusen have had an excellent season, and they have overtaken Bayern Munich to become league leaders. Under Xavi Alonso, Liverpool have been pushing for the title.
According to technical statistics, Bayer Leverkusen, who last won the German Cup, have not won a trophy more than 30 years ago, so they are desperate to set a new record. Bayer Leverkusen are the only team in the top five leagues not to lose, with 25 games without a loss, 22 wins, three draws, 81 goals, 18 goals and 11 goals conceded. Not only are the current Bundesliga leaders this team, but they have also competed in the UEFA and German Cups, showing their ability to play on multiple fronts.
During his tenure as manager, Xavi Alonso has led the team to a record 13 consecutive victories. Today, Bayer Leverkusen have set their best record in the team's history, having played 35 times in the German league, 22 of which have been championships. They are 25 games without losing to a German football club, surpassing Hamburg to remain unbeaten in 24 games in the 1982-83 season.
Such results have turned Bayer Leverkusen into a legend, especially when Bayern Munich have home advantage, and it will not be easy for other clubs to stand out. With Xavi Alonso's outstanding management in Europe, he is already considered one of the most talked about managers, while his supporters are also talking about whether he will coach a big team in the future. Xavi Alonso has signed a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, which runs until 2026, although he is interested in from big clubs such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Now, he is focused on leading the team to a treble this season.
