Featured Game – Bayer Leverkusen 1-5 Bayern München
After two weeks without Bundesliga action due to the international break, fans of the German game were ready for the return of top flight football. What an encounter there was to enjoy as well on matchday eight, with the top two facing off in a mouth-watering showdown. Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern München are two of the country’s most historic clubs and sat level on points after seven rounds of fixtures. They had lost just the once each and, although Bayern undoubtedly have the stronger squad, the fact that the game was being played at the BayArena and with the hosts’ more than handy set of attacking players of their own, there was every chance this one was going to be tight. On paper then, it seemed as if this match could have gone either way, but, in truth, every spectator quickly realised that was not going to be the case.
