Before this match, Bayer Leverkusen was at the top of the table with 52 points. Bayern Munich was right behind with 2 points less. Therefore, this match will greatly affect the race for the silver plate. Understanding the strength of the "Gray Tigers", Bayer Leverkusen proactively gave up the game to their opponents. However, coach Xabi Alonso's students still had many quality counter-attacks thanks to the mobile players on both wings. In addition, the long-range shots of Bayer Leverkusen midfielders also made veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer struggle many times.
In the first half, former Bayern Munich player Josip Stanisic gave the home team the advantage with a close-range finish. In the second half, Bayern Munich's defense continued to play loosely and allowed Alex Grimaldo to run down and score the second goal past Manuel Neuer in the 50th minute. Not only did they play deadlocked, in the final minute of stoppage time, Bayern Munich also conceded a third goal from Jeremie Frimpong.

Bayern Munich are losing themselves
With a 3-0 victory, Bayer Leverkusen has widened the gap with Bayern Munich to 5 points and has a big advantage in the championship race. However, coach Xabi Alonso is still cautious and believes that he can only talk about the championship in May.
“We will talk about winning the title in May,” said the Spaniard. “Bayer Leverkusen have to be realistic and keep their feet on the ground. Today we did very well, the discipline and solidarity of the team was excellent. The attack created a lot of chances and the defence was hardly threatened. Bayer Leverkusen have a lot of young players, a lot of energy and that is the key. There are no secrets.”
Coach Xabi Alonso still not thinking about the title

In La Liga, the clash between the top two teams, Real Madrid and Girona, is also important in deciding the championship title. The “White Vultures” are the ones with the advantage and are rated higher before this match. However, few people predicted that Coach Ancelotti’s students would have such an easy match.
In the first half alone, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham quickly brought 2 goals for Real Madrid. In the second half, Real Madrid played slowly but continued to add 2 more goals. Jude Bellingham completed his double in the 54th minute before Rodrygo sealed a big 4-0 victory for Real Madrid in the 61st minute.
With an easy 4-0 win, Real Madrid has also widened the gap with Girona to 5 points. Meanwhile, the 2nd position of coach Salvador Sardina's students is being threatened when Barca is close behind with a gap of 6 points and the "Catalan" team still has 1 match left to play.
Real Madrid have the advantage in the La Liga title race
