The sixth day of the Bundesliga was not kind to the championship leaders, starting with Bayern Munich.
After a thunderous start to the season, the Record champions seems to be falling into line. A week after going 1-1 against Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern signed another draw, this time against Frankfurt (3-3).
But for Vincent Kompany, the Bavarians, who largely dominated the debates, have nothing to reproach themselves with and simply came across the Eagles.particularly effective“.
“I can’t say anything negative about our team’s performance. I think we were aggressive. We went forward, we had a lot of chances and we scored three goals, which is always a good thing“, declared the new Bayern coach, who has just gone a third match without a victory in all competitions.
A very tight ranking ahead
If Bayern Munich remains in the lead despite this draw, the ranking is increasingly tight.
Thanks to their 1-0 victory over Heidenheim, RB Leipzig now have the same number of points as Bayern. Eintracht Frankfurt is in ambush with only one point behind. Freiburg, winner of Werder Bremen 1-0, completes the leading quartet which is therefore held in two units.
After six days, no club has yet established its domination.
Leverkusen trapped by Kiel
For his part, the reigning champion was once again hooked.
This time, it was the promoted Kiel who managed to defeat Bayer Leverkusen, who were playing at home.
Xabi Alonso’s men had a perfect start to the match, scoring two goals in eight minutes of play before stumbling several times against the Kiel defense and even seeing the promoted side come back to equalize. Final score 2-2.
“We can only blame ourselves“, assured after the meeting Xabi Alonso who celebrated his two years at the head of the club.
“I think after the 2-0 we thought this match was too easy… But no, you have to work throughout the match with the same mentality, the same intensity. And we probably weren’t at full strength for the rest of the game. It’s frustrating and it’s something we need to talk about very frankly.“
A rejuvenated Xabi Alonso who knows that with already one defeat and two draws on the clock, his team, fifth in the standings, is not starting on the same basis as last season.
Dortmund at a standstill
Another team with a disappointing performance, Borussia Dortmund. Defeated by Union Berlin 2-1, the Borussia are already in a complicated situation in the league, which contrasts with their perfect run in the Champions League where, in addition to winning, they pile up goals.
“It’s true that we play every three days now, we sleep little and we travel a lot. But at the end of the day, we still have to make sure we perform well and win games, because that’s our job.“, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel bluntly stated.
BVB is currently in seventh place in the standings.
