Bayer Leverkusen on the Brink of Bundesliga Title Glory

Bayer Leverkusen could be on the verge of sealing the Bundesliga title this weekend, with the title race set to be decided live on Sky Sports. Xabi Alonso’s side, who have yet to lose a match in all competitions this season, currently sit 16 points clear of second-placed Bayern Munich, the reigning champions.

With just six rounds of games remaining, Leverkusen only need to match Bayern’s result this weekend to secure the title. If Bayern were to lose to Cologne on Saturday afternoon, Leverkusen would be confirmed as champions without even having to play.

However, if Bayern were to win, Leverkusen could claim the title by beating Werder Bremen at home on Sunday afternoon. This would mark the end of Bayern’s 11-year dominance of the Bundesliga and would be a historic moment for Leverkusen, who would be crowned champions for the first time since 2012.

For manager Xabi Alonso, it would be a significant achievement in his first full season as a head coach. The former player had been linked with managerial positions at Liverpool and Bayern before committing to Leverkusen earlier this spring.

Before the crucial Bundesliga games this weekend, both Leverkusen and Bayern face English opposition in Europe. Bayern take on Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, while Leverkusen host West Ham in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

The Bundesliga title race is heating up, and fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports as the race for the championship reaches its climax.
