The performance was right, the result only partially. FC Bayern only got one point in the top game against Leverkusen despite a dominant performance. Several players impressed. The individual criticism.
FC Bayern defended their lead in the Bundesliga’s top game, but missed out on a win. Against Bayer Leverkusen, the record champions dominated the game for long stretches, but had to be content with a 1-1 draw.
“We would have deserved more,” said Munich captain Manuel Neuer after the game on Sky. “We were clearly the better team, we were pressing, we had more chances and deserved to win.” Sports director Max Eberl didn’t see it much differently. “In the end, the last little thing was missing,” he stated, but also emphasized: “The way” the Munich team performed “was very impressive.”
Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka assured: “We are self-critical.” Defensively it was a “very good” performance. “The goal was to allow little,” said the Swiss. “You can do a little more with the ball, but we’re happy to take the 1-1 draw.”
After winning six competitive games recently – four times in the league, once in the Champions League, once in the cup – Bayern coach Vincent Kompany had to miss out on a win for the first time, but was satisfied with his team’s performance.
The defense in particular looked very good and hardly allowed anything to happen. Manuel Neuer only got three shots on goal, one of which ended up in the goal. But Bayern were also largely convincing going forward and were also unlucky with the aluminum on several occasions. This is also reflected in the grades, even if a player only saw grade four.
