This year’s Bundesliga season has been a complete surprise. VfB Stuttgart, which was close to getting relegated last year, is third in the points table this season. Likewise, Bayer Leverkusen finished sixth last season and is now leading the Bundesliga standings. Moreover, they are undefeated and have a comfortable lead of ten points. Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso this season has been a beast.
On the other hand, Union Berlin, which finished fourth in the last season, is standing 14th this year. Similarly, defending champion Bayern Munich is second in the points table and is ten points behind the table topper.
Looking at Leverkusen’s impressive run, even one of the best football club managers couldn’t hold up and praise them.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said:
“Wow. Not just the way they play, but they haven’t lost a single game.”
As mentioned, Bayer Leverkusen has been a beast this season. They are leading the Bundesliga and are the only club to remain unbeaten this season. The credit for the club’s success goes collectively to the players, manager, and other coaching staff.

Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso was appointed as the new head coach for Bayern Leverkusen in 2022. He joined them in mid-season and changed the dynamics of the club. The club was struggling and was the second-last team in the standings.
In his first managerial game with Leverkusen, he guided the club to a 4-0 win over Schalke 04. Since then, the clubs have locked their way towards victory. They finished sixth by the end of the season and made one of the greatest comebacks.
This season, they are undefeated and standing first in the Bundesliga standings. Moreover, they have a great chance to win their first-ever Bundesliga title.
