This duel is a must for every football fan. On Saturday evening from 6.30 p.m Bayer Leverkusen the FC Bayern Munich. In other words: First place plays against second place – both teams are only separated by two points. Excitement guaranteed!
The Werkself came away euphoric from a 3-2 win in the thrilling DFB Cup thriller against Stuttgart. After Bayer had been behind twice, DFB star Jonathan Tah (27) headed his team into the semi-finals in the 90th minute.
Coach Xabi Alonso (42) after the game: “I’m happy that we have the heart and soul to try until the last moment. That we have a good mentality even in difficult moments.”
Although the cup fight also took a physical toll, the anticipation of the top game on Saturday outweighs the Leverkusen team. Winning goalscorer Tah: “These are weeks and moments when you have to eat well, sleep well, regenerate, focus on the games – and then it works.” Midfielder Robert Andrich (29) is simply looking forward to “a great game”.
After the embarrassing 0-1 defeat against Werder Bremen and FC Bayern are back in good form and have recently won three league games in a row. Nevertheless, coach Thomas Tuchel (50) showed his support after the 3-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach was not very enthusiastic on Saturday: “We have done our homework. It was a decent performance against a difficult opponent.”
Nevertheless, the German record champions naturally want to take the opportunity to take the lead from Leverkusen for the first time since matchday six. Tuchel was combative: “Leverkusen are playing an outstanding round, but when they look in the rear-view mirror they are only two points ahead. We’re here, we want to prove it.”
