Leverkusen dominates, but goalless draw against weak Bavaria!

In the duel of the two Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, the game ended on February 17, 2025 with a disappointing 0-0 draw. While Leverkusen dominated the action on the square, Bayern's offensive was terrifyingly weak. According to Sportschau.de Shots of goal, nobody went on the gate.

Bayer Leverkusen, under the direction of coach Xabi Alonso, was much more active. The defense chief Jonathan Tah found that the team dominated the game, but the possibilities that offered themselves could not implement it in goals. It was striking that Leverkusen met twice aluminum: Jeremie Frimpong in the 21st minute and Nathan Tella in the 25th minute were the pitch birds of the game.

Leverkusen's frustration grows

Despite the dominant performance, Xabi Alonso had to admit frustration about the goalless result after the game. The coach was surprised by the weak offensive of the record champion and struggled with the luck that his team was missing. Florian Wirtz in particular had another good opportunity in added time, which he just dropped past the goal. "We deserved the points," said Alonso after the game.

Bayern remained without shot on goal at half -time, which was very rarely documented in Bundesliga history. Even in the second half, there was no trace of an offensive revival. Bavaria changed four players in the 66th minute to bring fresh wind into play, but in vain. After the game, coach Vincent Kompany praised his team's defense work, which held the zero. Harry Kane also suffered a collision that required medical treatment, which also impaired his performance.

outlook for the next games

After the goalless division of points, Bayer Leverkusen has little chance of defending the title. The gap to the leaders of Bavaria is now eight points, which is not exactly easier for Alonso and his team's situation. Leverkusen meets Holstein Kiel on February 22, while Bayern Munich will compete against Eintracht Frankfurt the day before.

Overall, it should be noted that Bayer Leverkusen is still considered a serious opponent despite the unfortunate outputs. Alonso now remains unbeaten in six games against Bavaria, proof of the constant improvement and the fighting spirit of his team. The question remains whether Leverkusen can withstand pressure and how the other games will affect the table.
