Berlin (dpa) – The favorites are not naked: The top trio of the Bundesliga prevailed in the second part of the twelfth day of the match. The tension at the top remains before the last league games of the year.
NOT ENDANGERED: Bayer Leverkusen has defended its lead in the standings, as befits its standing. Before the Bundesliga hit against FC Bayern Munich on Saturday, the Werkself scored four goals at 1. FC Cologne and gave their Rhenish neighbors no chance. Mitchell Weiser, who slipped into the starting XI at the very last moment, said with self-confidence: “If we’re already at the top and have a duel like this, we want three points.”
GALA: On the day before the world footballer honor, Robert Lewandowski was already in gala form. With a double in a 2-1 win against his favorite opponent VfL Wolfsburg, which is synonymous with his Bundesliga goals number 250 and 251, the Pole once again demonstrated his class. Will the culmination of his career now follow? “I’m under no pressure. I’m happy to be there and have the chance of a great honor,” said Lewandowski. According to the numbers and successes in 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi should have no chance on Thursday.
UNDERSTATEMENT: Julian Nagelsmann’s gaze turned downwards after RB Leipzig’s eighth win in the Bundesliga. RB now have a bit of a gap to the non-Champions League places, said the coach of the table third. After the lackluster 1-0 at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, the Leipzigers are already five points ahead of VfL Wolfsburg in fifth. However, the top of the table is also close with only one point behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
ENDLOS: Before the game against SC Freiburg, coach Manuel Baum was confident that FC Schalke 04’s winless series would soon end. After the 2-0 draw against Freiburg, Baum was served. “We will have to be very clear about this game,” he said after his team’s again shockingly weak performance. Harmless on the offensive, faulty in the back. The Royal Blues have been without a win for 28 games – Tasmania Berlin’s negative record (31 games without success, 1965/66) is getting closer and closer.
