The 1st leg game between Bayern and Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16 has just ended.
I expected it to be an even game, given the most recent results of head to head games between those two, but it was a completely one sided show.
Leverkusen got demolished 3-0. An early goal by Kane set the tone, then another one by Musiala in the 54th and then a nail to the coffin for Leverkusen: a red card for Mukiele in the 62nd minute - after that, it was clear that Leverkusen wouldn't be able to do much and limited themselves to defense but with no luck, as they lost another one with Kane scoring from a penalty.

Looks like the Champions League dream is pretty much over for Leverkusen.

I don't understand Alonso's tactics starting a game where they need a goal without a striker. It's weird...
He benched Patrick Schick, Nathan Tella, and Victor Boniface against Bayern Munich, what does Alonso expect?
You have strikers, you don't use them. Leverkusen lost because of Xavi Alonso's tactics and not because Bayern were better...
So it's all over, Bayern München has qualified...

I really know the rational behind Alonso benching all his top strikers in a very important match looks like this that is even a knock out stage of the champions League I think Alonso is starting to lose confidence on his players and it will not be a good one for the team because it's going to definitely have consequences on the team, because playing a champions League match without a striker is something that is of concern but let see how the second leg will go i can't say that the match is over because the second leg is there for Alonso to show his tactics and see if he will turn around things for Leverkusen

Wake up from your dream mate, how do you expect Leverkusen to win Bayern 4-0 and qualify to the quarter finals. It's impossible because the match might end in a draw. We need to talk about realistic things that will play out. On paper and on  praticals , Bayern is better than Leverkusen this season. Bayern will definitely win Bundesliga. Leverkusen is out of the competition.

If you are a football follower you will know that nothing is impossible in football so don't write them off until the last minute of the second leg I have seen the impossible happen so let see how the second leg is going to be because let tell our self the truth I don't see one fantastic thing that bayern munich played that day the problem with Leverkusen was that there was no finisher in front of goal plus Leverkusen played the majority of the second half with a ten men due to the red card so 3:0 score line is something that is possible to overcome by any spirited team that is hungry to overturn the results of the first leg

In the opening game of the matchday 25, Mainz is comfortably winning 3-1 in an away match against Monchengladbach.
This win positions them in the 3rd place, 2 points above Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht is playing Union Berlin at home tomorrow. They are x1.76 favourite but their performance in the league hasn't been that great lately. They've only won one time in their last 6 league games, but the last two were against Bayer and Bayern, so they didn't have it easy. They did pretty good in the Europa League last Thursday when they defeated Ajax 2-1 in Amsterdam.

For Xabi, It was his first-ever loss to Bayern and it came brutally.
After six failed attempts, Munich finally cracked Leverkusen’s defense.
Bayern didn’t just beat Leverkusen. They deleted them from reality.
Bayern not only won but also reaffirmed their dominance. Bayern showed their pedigree and experience!
This defeat also signaled a power shift, Kompany finally found a solution against Alonso’s Leverkusen.
So in the second leg, no miracle will happen. IMO

Sweet victory was finally obtained by Mainz at the opponent's headquarters with a final score of 3-1. That made them temporarily able to shift the position from Frankfurt.

They played well in this match, and actually Gladbach did not play badly, it's just that they were not strong enough to withstand every attack launched by Mainz so that 3 goals were scored into their goal.

LOL, what a disastrous round. I can't even imagine how many coupons have been ruined.
Bayern loses to Bochum (16th in the league) at home.
Leverkusen loses to Werder at home.
Dortmund loses to Augsburg at home (OK, this one is the least surprising).

I guess Bayern's loss could be explained by the 42nd-minute red card, but still, seeing the leader of the table wasting two-goals advantage to the team from the bottom of the table is not a usual occurrence.

Football is full of surprises, and you will start wondering what happened. I wouldn't say that the three clubs Bayern, Leverkusen and Dortmund olanned it but it was just a coincidence. Imagine assuming out of these three clubs was able to win their match, it would have been a good opportunity to close or widening the point gap. Their points remains stagnant which still gives Bayern a good advantage to win the title.

It's like they just happened to lose on the same day. hahaha
How many tickets were spoiled including those parlays in some matches?
I think many lost tickets today, even though we know Bayer - Leverkusen and Dortmund were predicted to win but the surprise came in this match.

Many sportsbooks will be excited because today they had the better of most gamblers.

Even if one gambler was able to predict the loss of one big team in the Bundesliga today, it would have been difficult for any gambler to particularly see that all three big teams in the Bundesliga will all lose their games today. Strange indeed!

I agree football is sometimes full of surprise but it doesn't happen every time. Like the matches in Bundesliga in matchday 25, the top teams were defeated. It is actually surprising to see Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, and Dortmund got defeats together. This means there will be no addition for their points. But it is bad for Dortmund because they are now in the 10th place. If they won, they must be in 8th place now.

Surprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football. Especially when a match is spiced up with drama.

But that's all what makes football more interesting for us to follow. Especially when there is a derby match that brings together 2 big teams. This is why football is the most popular sport in the world.

Surprises is what makes football unique and interesting because it offers the smaller teams to give a good account of them self by trying to proof that every team has an equal chances of winning , this weekend was full of surprises in the German bundesliga title as both Leverkusen and bayern munich all lost their respective games to their opponents but Leverkusen will be the once to have them the self to be blamed for because in a week where Bayarn Munich lost they too lost they would have at least get a slime victory and close in on the game

Can't believing with this game week Bundesliga match after top teams defeated by mediocre or small teams, Bayern Munich as the top standings team defeated by the bottom position teams Bochum after crucial come back and Bochum won 2-3. Its not problem with away match and Bochum have more confidence for defeating top standings Bundesliga teams although have conceded two goals early.
Bayern got advantage although defeated in this games week match because the rival team Bayern Leverkusen have got losses defeated by Werder Bremen, now both teams have 8 points remaining with 9 matches left and seems Bayern have bigger chance for winning domestic league this season.
