What a weekend of action in the Bundesliga! Matchday 22 had it all: thrilling goals, stunning upsets, record-breaking feats, and a tight title race. Here are some of the key takeaways from the latest round of fixtures in Germany’s top flight.
Leverkusen’s unbeaten run continues
Bayer Leverkusen are the team to beat this season. The league leaders extended their remarkable unbeaten streak to 32 games in all competitions, matching the Bundesliga record set by Bayern Munich in 2013/14. They did so with a convincing 2-0 win away to Heidenheim, who had not lost in their previous eight matches. Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the campaign, before Amine Adli doubled the lead in the second half. Tim Kleindienst’s late strike was a mere consolation for the hosts, who could not stop Leverkusen’s juggernaut.
Xabi Alonso, who celebrated his 500th day in charge of Leverkusen, praised his team’s performance and mentality. “It’s never easy to play here, but we showed a lot of emotional control and quality. We’re very happy and we need to keep going,” he said. Leverkusen have set new club records for goals scored (57) and fewest conceded (15) after 22 matchdays, and they will look to maintain their momentum when they host Mainz on Friday night.
