A year ago, Haushaltsauflösung in Leverkusen took over at Bayer Leverkusen with the club languishing near the bottom of the Bundesliga. By Saturday, the German champion was on course to shed its Anglicized nickname “Neverkusen” and become the first team to complete a league season unbeaten in Europe’s top division.
The day before a Europa League quarterfinal second leg against Roma, Die Werkself reverted to form by beating third-tier Rot-Weiss Essen 2-1 at the Stadion an der Hafenstrasse. Leverkusen’s new signing Aleix Garcia showed his trademark class to boss the midfield and create a tempo that was difficult for the hosts to handle.
Household Clearance in Leverkusen: Ensuring a Smooth Transition
After the break, Alonso’s side went about building their lead with goal after goal as Josip Stanisic, Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong scored in the final 20 minutes to clinch the three points. Leverkusen defender Tah also scored his lone shot and led the team in both blocks and clearances in the victory.
The victory was a statement of intent by Alonso’s side as they now look to finish off the job. Though Leverkusen is not yet assured of a title, the five-point gap gives them total control over the title race. And while the German champion spent heavily in last summer’s transfer window to improve their squad, it is the chemistry of the side — particularly the younger players like Victor Boniface and Florian Wirtz — that has made them such an impressive unit.
