Leverkusen Matches Bundesliga History With Commanding 4-0 Win

POSTED ON November 12, 2023 •   SPORTS      BY Segun Adewole

Bayer Leverkusen, under the helm of Xabi Alonso, achieved a historic milestone by equaling the best start to a Bundesliga season, reclaiming the top spot on the table with an authoritative 4-0 triumph over Union Berlin on Sunday.

This victory propels Leverkusen to an impressive 31 points out of a possible 33 after just 11 matches, a feat that aligns with the record set by Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich during the 2015-16 season. Saturday saw Bayern briefly take the lead with a 4-2 win over Heidenheim, but Leverkusen's dominant display on Sunday swiftly catapulted them back to the pinnacle of the Bundesliga.

Goals from Alex Grimaldo, Odilon Kossounou, Jonathan Tah, and Nathan Tella showcased the depth and prowess of Alonso's squad, highlighting their offensive prowess and defensive solidity.

Speaking about his team's performance, Alonso commended their patience and overall satisfaction with their achievements, stating, "We're very satisfied with what we've done from the previous international break to this one... a lot of away games and every game a win." The former football maestro turned coach acknowledged the challenges faced during the season but emphasized the team's resilience and success in securing victories consistently.

As Bayer Leverkusen stands shoulder to shoulder with Bayern Munich in Bundesliga history, the team's remarkable start under Xabi Alonso is capturing the attention of football enthusiasts, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive season ahead.
