Leverkusen came to their home game tonight (Sunday) against Bayern Munich with five consecutive Bundesliga victories and with high hopes of continuing the momentum also against the eternal champions, to show that the compliments she has received since the beginning of the year are justified.
Unfortunately, it fell apart in the first half after a purposeful display by the Bavarians who proved for the umpteenth time that they really have no competition in the local arena.
Robert Lewandowski scored the first goal with the heel already in the fourth minute, completed a double in the 30th minute and opened seven minutes from the films.
Thomas Muller (34) and Serge Gnabry (35,37) joined the madness at the Bay Island Stadium and crushed the host.
Patrick Schick, one of the last Euro outstanding players in the Czech Republic uniform, only shrank in the 55th minute to 5: 1, a result that was maintained until the end.
Bayern returned thanks to the victory at the top of the table with their face to the away game in the Champions League against Benfica on Wednesday.
The best in the world!
