Bayer Leverkusen's amazing season in all formats continued in the last round before going into the international break, when Xavi Alonso's team beat Freiburg 2:3 to open a 10-point gap over Bayern Munich at the top of the German Bundesliga and continue their 38-game unbeaten streak.
With progress to the quarter-finals of the European League and on the way to the first championship in the club's history, also one of the former players of the German national team and Bayern Munich, knew how to cheer on the rival of the Bavarian champions in the championship race.
"The ball, the speed and the calmness with the ball - this is simply a team that is fun to watch," said Luther Mathews, the former German captain.
"I can talk about Leverkusen for hours. It reminds me of the Barcelona of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta. Today, for me, this team is Bayer Leverkusen."

The person who previously coached Maccabi Netanya and won the World Cup with the German national team added: "For me, this is the strongest team in the world today. I don't want to compare it to Liverpool and Manchester City, but Leverkusen is playing at the highest and highest quality level I've seen this season."
