Buts : Schick (45e+1, 67e74e77e), Wirtz (51e) // Tap (55e)
SO ? Aren't we waiting for Patrik?
Patrik Schick scattered the Freiburg defense this Saturday during the demonstration by Bayer Leverkusen (5-1). In great form, the Czech had five goals in his last three starts in the Bundesliga. He continued his momentum by sending the ball four times into the back of Noah Atubolu's cage. The German goalkeeper had started very strongly by repelling Florian Wirtz's penalty (33e). However, he was unable to do anything on the succulent ball stolen by Schick before half-time (45e+1).
50 shades of Xabi
Wirtz made up for it in the second period by scoring his 12e goal of the season in all competitions (51e). Vincenzo Grifo quickly reduced the gap (55e), but the Schick tornado swept away everything in its path with three pawns in ten minutes (67e74e77e). The reigning champion made the right move by taking advantage of the defeats of Frankfurt and Leipzig to consolidate his second place. Xabi Alonso's men are also holding on to Bayern, leader with four points ahead. The Spanish technician, in passing, obtained his 50e victory on the Bayer bench, in just 75 matches.
Masculine perfection.
