You forget one of his favourites. Vicente del Bosque gave Xabi the rol that Xabi wanted in the national team. Del Bosque benched David Silva in the World Cup, and put Xabi as an untouchable starter. And that was huge in a team that came from winning the Euro two years before, and worked like a clock.
@@aha3885which role was that? Regista?? Coz David Silva and Alonso played different positions. One was an attacking mid.. and the other played as what you would call nowadays a Deep lying playmaker

Compare points last year at this time under nagelsmann and under tuchel. Tuchel has more. Dortmund were terrible [ bayern hammered them 2x last year]. Bayer are legit setting a record being undefeated the whole season in all competitions. Tuchel was two points behind THAT. now five. Just sayin.

Im anticipating another coach for the Munich team very soon we all know how little patience Munich leadership have for a team that doesn't win 98% of the time while playing good football lol
True, but as a Bayern Fan it is time for someone else to win: it’s called Bundesliga not BayernLiga. 11 consecutive Miesterschale is enough. It’ll make the league more competitive, which means better ad money, which translates into higher salaries and more attractive football.

1.) Poor Harry Kane. Lol. The curse is real. 2.) Of course it would be a guy in Alonso that Mourinho told everyone years ago was destined to become a great Manager.
This guy has no clue what he's talking about. Xabi Alonso didn't change their style? They played without a striker and he swapped the offensive minded Frimpong with the defensive minded Stanisic. He literally adapted their style to Bayern and it worked.
I hope Leverkusen win it. Not just because I like Alonso but because Bayern has been bossing the league for over a decade at this point and it has really hurt both the league AND Bayern Munich. Being dominant is one thing. Winning it literally every year is another. Some healthy competition is good. The days when the occasional team like a Wolfsburg or a Dortmund won a title need to return.
@cowboybeboop9420 agreed , except for the new champion being a team like Leverkusen , Wolfsburg , Hoffenheim or Leipzig. there is a reason teams like this are not respected by fans. wish it could be teams like Eintracht Frankfurt , Stuttgart or even teams like Köln , Hamburg , Düsseldorf , Hertha with their big cities and fan potential. however over the decades all these teams have shown nothing but incompetence in the long term ( with Frankfurt & Stuttgart recently being a bit of exceptions , but we will see how long they will last , as history in the Bundesliga shows , sadly it's gonna be short )

Hope Leverkusen can keep that up, but right now it doesn't mean anything. I have seen Bayern Munich winning the league way too many times on the last day, in the 94 minute.
Bro, there is a huge difference between this season and last season. Last season, Bayern and Dortmund had bad results very often. And if I'm not mistaken, Bayern always destroys Dortmund in direct matches. Last year Dortmund had 43 points in 21 stages, now Leverkusen have 55 points in 21 stages. It's a huge difference.
@@Undivided-X I believe it when it's mathematically impossible for Bayern to win the Bundesliga. There is a reason why Leverkusen never won the Bundesliga title and Bayern are record champion. For me Bayern are still favorites to win it.
Alonso did change the entire formation btw. They play so dynamic so maybe people couldnt tell just watching the game but it was very different from something that has been almost the same for the rest of the season.
right. he played without striker (Wirtz played role of rather false 9) and with two wingers. clear intention was to play quick in transitions and give Bayern possession. so it was different from what we have seen this season in most games. it was probably tactical switch and also dicated by players that were available to Alonso. without Palacios it would've been too risky to play usual way vs Bayern that also showed idealessness in possession under Tuchel.

He made those changes in the 60th minute (after it was then already 2-0).

@@Delboy0 tell that the spanish and english where is ansu fati where is foden they hardly set the world on fire mostly bechwaremer; i think the bundesliga has proven since 2010 that they produce the best talent in the world and they showed it later in other leagues (exepct manchester united where every transfer from german league flopped)
@@26DeislerFCB You seriously trying to say Wirtz is better Foden? When has Wirtz dominated Real Madrid, PSG, Dortmund, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal like Foden? never. Stop hyping Germans before they have proved it at an elite level. Even Bastian Schweinsteiger said German players are overhyped too much too early.
Xabi Alonso is setting up to be a better manager than he was as player, and that's saying a lot. The most desirable manager in world football at the moment. I can see greatness in the making. Can't wait to see what happens next. What he's done so far is nothing short of amazing. Impressive would be an understatement.
Nagelsmann was sitting next to Rudi Völler. German football legend who worked for bayer leverkusen after his active career for about two decades before he retired his position and now works at "DFB". And as nagelsmann is coach of germany it makes sense that they sit next to each other
You're actually wrong - should have watched the game. He did change the lineup. For Bayern. A couple of years ago Dortmund were 8pts clear - and still lost the title. Munich are usually a pain in the b*tt when they hunt somebody. Leverkusen hasn't had a single bad day the whole season AND half of last season. Should be coming any day now. Bayern were pretty bad, though. Tuchels last months in Munich. Uli won't listen to the Idk stuff from him much longer. My guess: He already has Xabi. What would Xabi want in Liverpool? Following a club legend he can only lose - double that if Liverpool wins anything this year. At Bayern he could pull off the same stunt as he does now in Leverkusen.
Bayern haven't been looking good all season. It was always tough to watch and Harry saved them with a brace or something. The longer a streak is running, the sooner it will end. There's still 39pts to go.
1. Kane has better personality and team work, Lewandowski is better in finishing. 2. Leverkusen taught Bayern bosses, Tuchel and most of Bayern's clown fans what is football. 3. Xabi's passing game and game plan is prominent. 4. Although lost the game, move on is what the fans can do now. The only relieving one Bayern won against Mönchengladbach otherwise season can be said ended. Good luck for the rest. 5. Congratulations to Leverkusen and Stanišić. Stanišić will enjoy more than the current Bayern.
It's all down to tuchel, he tried matching Alonsos 343 which they hadn't played all season only for them to be completely outclassed for 90 mins, it's clear he's not cut out for the Bayern job because their football has been awful, and the players look clueless
Can you believe that the best team in world football right now domestically isn’t not even Real Madrid Bayern Munich Manchester City Barcelona Liverpool Arsenal or Inter Milan, the best team currently is Bayer Leverkusen. For months, I’ve been wondering how long can they keep this up will they slow down after the winter break and this win against Bayern Munich, it was a statement and they’re still unbeaten and there’s a feeling that they’re gonna win the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso is just amazing and watching the way this team has been getting results and winning games, sometimes I wonder if Bayer Leverkusen are truly ending the whole farmers league narrative in the Bundesliga and they’re not losing games and even after the winter break, they’ve been grinding results and they sent a real statement and message. He seriously took this team from relegation threatened to potentially winning the Bundesliga, ending Bayern Munich’s 11 year dominance and regardless of whether you follow the league or not you should back Bayer Leverkusen to win the league and it’s great that another team is playing much better than them and actually had a big win. However despite this win and them being 5 points ahead of Bayern Munich, keep in mind that the title race in the Bundesliga isn’t over and let me just give people a reminder that Arsenal were literally top of the table for the entire season yet they still didn’t win the premier league and it’s too early to label them as Bundesliga champions and if anyone learned from what happened with Arsenal last season, it’s one game at a time and only then you’ll know how good of a position you’re in to close out this title race. The worst case scenario for them is that they play this well and after this Bayern Munich win they still don’t win the Bundesliga and we’ll see how the rest of the season plays out.
Imagine him winning the league by dethroning a team that has won it for what 11 seasons in a row? And with a club that has never won the competition before in their history
After getting benched for such crucial game should be final nail in coffin for Bayern anyhope of retaining Joshua kimmich, Pep must be licking his lips for summer, it will take almost complete 360 change for bayern to kimmich extending with that team, so it is almost certain city is getting kimmich and now let see can club get his country Wirtz too this summer or 2025
If Kane doesn't win the Bundesliga this season, it will be extremely funny in my opinion. The man totally desperate to win trophies and thought it would be easy pickings by going to Bayern. It will be like great poetry if he wins nothing with Bayern this season. Kane has NEVER been a big game players and he still not one. Kane can be amazing when the games are not that important, but the moment it really matters a lot, he crumbles. That has been the curse when he played for Spurs and that has been the curse when he has played for England.
If he leaves early, he will go Liverpool. If he leaves after a few seasons to respect his Leverkusen legacy and try winning more, he will go to Real Madrid afterwards.
Im sorry but these are the type of matches that kane needs to show up in and today he was totally invisible when it mattered. You cant keep using the excuse of teamates fault or team is poor. Going to bayern who win the league every year and losing the season he joins is incredible bad look. the biggest game and dropped he worst performance.
Well Bayern played at the box from left to the right and right to the left but did not play the ball into the box...what is Kane supposed to do? go outside of the box, take the ball and take shots from outside of the box? I mean it would have been better than nothing as we knwo now but still that cant be the answer.
The thing is what Tuchel did at Chelsea, he can't do it anywhere again. Tuchel used the 3-4-3 and 5-2-3 to terrorize Europe. At Bayern they want beautiful football and attacking football which Tuchel did not do at Chelsea. Coz at Chelsea he was winning titles and important games with the 3-4-3 especially. Chelsea was not giving him pressure like what Bayern is doing. And someone might argue he used the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 at PSG and it worked. Yep it worked but it worked only in France. There are a lot of reasons why Tuchel is struggling at Bayern and don't get me wrong am not taking anything away from Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso has done a great job.
Harry kane is legit one of the worst. Mind it, England are not winning any trophy till they have kane, and bayern are going trophyless this season. Wasn't kane enough that they bought dier😂😂
Alonso has a quit clause where he can sign for Real, Spain, Bayern or LOLerpool, no questions asked. Alonso said that he wants another club job before stepping up to Real and finally end with Spain. Will he go to LOLerpool to start the story or will he go to Bayern for glory?
The man would be a fool to leave Leverkusen now, and he doesn't strike me as one. He has something special going with his current team. Next season they will be playing UCL, which will keep everybody motivated. I can see him leaving for the 26/27 season, which is exactly how long his contract it going.
@@zenmonk5403 he did say he wanted to manage Liverpool, Real Madrid or Bayern and I think it’s a great time to take over a Liverpool team that’s class and will only improve under him. I think he’ll take over in the summer imo
@@mrchickflick4444 He has plenty of time to still manage all 3 of those clubs. I don't think he is in any rush, as he keeps saying in press conferences.
@@zenmonk5403 it’s a big opportunity to manage Liverpool tho so I don’t think he’s going turn it down. For me it’s the right time then if he does well I’m sure he’ll move to Madrid at some point
Worse than picking the wrong tactics and lineup is that Tuchel didn't make any changes when he saw it wasn't working. The CBs were outrun all the time, Boey tangled his feet cause he didn't know how to play on the left, Kim and Mazraoui (who knows how to be left WB BTW) had just come back from Africa and Asia. And, well, the rest of the team sucked, too, especially Sane before the first and with the third goal, which he probably could have prevented with more alertness and effort. Thanks for that. Please go somewhere else. And take the coach with you. Sincerely, one of many pissed off Bayern fans.
I didn't see this coming. Finally someone seems to be ready to stand toe to toe with Bayern Munich and give them the test of their own medicine is exciting and good new for German football. Enough for a time.
Complete shoutout to Leverkusen. Well done. But gosh oh mine, Musiala and Sane , its just unbelievable player can dissapear as much as they did today. Complete disappointment
Problem is tuchel ..last year he came in ..t Bayern was amazing in the champions league ..he came in and got kicked out ..he came in and almost lost the league ..luckily dortmund fumbled ..the team is not feared anymore
I always say that if you want to beat Bayern always hit them on the counter and be solid defensively. Frankfurt did it and Leverkusen just proved it once more.
No fight, no ambition, no will to win and just pretty average from everyone not just kane. Players was literally walking during the game smh! Lazy "big club"
And this was the meaning of your existence in the comment section. Praying for Bayern to lose because your oil little club cannot achieve anything. At least Bayern were a team that almost everybody feared playing against for most of their existence, exactly the opposite from the little oil club from Qatar called P$G
Tuchel have really turned Bayern into a mediocre team like Chelsea. In this game he showed once again he is incapable of managing a proper big club. Just kick him out
@@harryjosephpangkenpong843 Exactly. And when most of them are going to manage the big big boys in Europe like Bayern, Real Madrid or Barcelona they are just getting exposed and how much overhype they received because they were in the Premier League
For me Bayern have been an overrated team long before Tuchel, it was just there was no one good enough to expose it until now. There is a reason Bayern keep getting eliminated early in all the normal seasons of the CL.
Kane left Spurs to win things and landed in a team of perennial winners. Suddenly, they are about to miss out on the title for God knows how long. The Kane curse!
Honestly Liverpool is about to get an even better Manager and Coach then they already have in Klopp Xabi Alonso at this moment in time is the best Manager in World Football

@@Delboy0 tell that the spanish and english where is ansu fati where is foden they hardly set the world on fire mostly bechwaremer; i think the bundesliga has proven since 2010 that they produce the best talent in the world and they showed it later in other leagues (exepct manchester united where every transfer from german league flopped)
@@26DeislerFCB You seriously trying to say Wirtz is better Foden? When has Wirtz dominated Real Madrid, PSG, Dortmund, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal like Foden? never. Stop hyping Germans before they have proved it at an elite level. Even Bastian Schweinsteiger said German players are overhyped too much too early.
Xabi Alonso is setting up to be a better manager than he was as player, and that's saying a lot. The most desirable manager in world football at the moment. I can see greatness in the making. Can't wait to see what happens next. What he's done so far is nothing short of amazing. Impressive would be an understatement.
Waiting to celebrate at the end of the season in Leverkusen. X. Alonso and the team are incredible.
Who was Nagelsman sitting with it on the match was it bayer Munich owners? you fired nagelsman to get tuchel that was the worst idea
The biggest mistake that club made an it came back to bite them very hard the Board should be fired
Nagelsmann was sitting next to Rudi Völler. German football legend who worked for bayer leverkusen after his active career for about two decades before he retired his position and now works at "DFB". And as nagelsmann is coach of germany it makes sense that they sit next to each other
Rudi Völler probably. He is with Leverkusen.
Ask Gullit
@@thx5428...and the Leverkusen boss
You're actually wrong - should have watched the game. He did change the lineup. For Bayern. A couple of years ago Dortmund were 8pts clear - and still lost the title. Munich are usually a pain in the b*tt when they hunt somebody.
Leverkusen hasn't had a single bad day the whole season AND half of last season. Should be coming any day now.
Bayern were pretty bad, though. Tuchels last months in Munich. Uli won't listen to the Idk stuff from him much longer.
My guess: He already has Xabi. What would Xabi want in Liverpool? Following a club legend he can only lose - double that if Liverpool wins anything this year. At Bayern he could pull off the same stunt as he does now in Leverkusen.
After the 3-0 Bayern are not coming back. Leverkusen has been unbeaten for 32 games.
Bayern haven't been looking good all season. It was always tough to watch and Harry saved them with a brace or something. The longer a streak is running, the sooner it will end. There's still 39pts to go.
1. Kane has better personality and team work, Lewandowski is better in finishing.
2. Leverkusen taught Bayern bosses, Tuchel and most of Bayern's clown fans what is football.
3. Xabi's passing game and game plan is prominent.
4. Although lost the game, move on is what the fans can do now. The only relieving one Bayern won against Mönchengladbach otherwise season can be said ended. Good luck for the rest.
5. Congratulations to Leverkusen and Stanišić. Stanišić will enjoy more than the current Bayern.
It's all down to tuchel, he tried matching Alonsos 343 which they hadn't played all season only for them to be completely outclassed for 90 mins, it's clear he's not cut out for the Bayern job because their football has been awful, and the players look clueless
Overrated manager...he's never better than Nagelsmann or Flick...even Sebastian Hoenes or Topmoller are better than ugly TT 😢 🤷
The curse of Kane is real 😮
Maybe , but bayer leverkusen and Xabi Alonso are just réal really good
Kane's main problem is his inability to do high-press constantly due to his age and it's been making his team's defense suffering
Is Eric Dier really the starter for Bayern Munich???
Alonso is proving to be the real deal! Liverpool awaits you...
Analysis is so American..its funny!
..😂😂😂
Can you believe that the best team in world football right now domestically isn’t not even Real Madrid Bayern Munich Manchester City Barcelona Liverpool Arsenal or Inter Milan, the best team currently is Bayer Leverkusen. For months, I’ve been wondering how long can they keep this up will they slow down after the winter break and this win against Bayern Munich, it was a statement and they’re still unbeaten and there’s a feeling that they’re gonna win the Bundesliga.
Xabi Alonso is just amazing and watching the way this team has been getting results and winning games, sometimes I wonder if Bayer Leverkusen are truly ending the whole farmers league narrative in the Bundesliga and they’re not losing games and even after the winter break, they’ve been grinding results and they sent a real statement and message. He seriously took this team from relegation threatened to potentially winning the Bundesliga, ending Bayern Munich’s 11 year dominance and regardless of whether you follow the league or not you should back Bayer Leverkusen to win the league and it’s great that another team is playing much better than them and actually had a big win. However despite this win and them being 5 points ahead of Bayern Munich, keep in mind that the title race in the Bundesliga isn’t over and let me just give people a reminder that Arsenal were literally top of the table for the entire season yet they still didn’t win the premier league and it’s too early to label them as Bundesliga champions and if anyone learned from what happened with Arsenal last season, it’s one game at a time and only then you’ll know how good of a position you’re in to close out this title race. The worst case scenario for them is that they play this well and after this Bayern Munich win they still don’t win the Bundesliga and we’ll see how the rest of the season plays out.
Imagine him winning the league by dethroning a team that has won it for what 11 seasons in a row? And with a club that has never won the competition before in their history
I was expecting Dortmund to break that streak last season but Leverkusen will 💯 do it this season
After getting benched for such crucial game should be final nail in coffin for Bayern anyhope of retaining Joshua kimmich, Pep must be licking his lips for summer, it will take almost complete 360 change for bayern to kimmich extending with that team, so it is almost certain city is getting kimmich and now let see can club get his country Wirtz too this summer or 2025
😂😂😂😂 city? They will be in the championship soon...Kimmich is bayern bound he will never leave...and Wirtz will go to bayern buddy
kimmich hopefully leaves as soon a possible
Kimmich had an injured shoulder he wasn’t fit to play the whole game or do you just vomit words without knowing anything
If Kane doesn't win the Bundesliga this season, it will be extremely funny in my opinion.
The man totally desperate to win trophies and thought it would be easy pickings by going to Bayern.
It will be like great poetry if he wins nothing with Bayern this season.
Kane has NEVER been a big game players and he still not one.
Kane can be amazing when the games are not that important, but the moment it really matters a lot, he crumbles.
That has been the curse when he played for Spurs and that has been the curse when he has played for England.
4 point out of 6 point, Great job Leverkusen Team!
Bundesliga will be relevant if leverkusen wins it this season, xabi alonso future madrid manager brilliant job so far.
But Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract?
@@Ibrahim-nf6yh after three years or something I meant
If he leaves early, he will go Liverpool. If he leaves after a few seasons to respect his Leverkusen legacy and try winning more, he will go to Real Madrid afterwards.
And so Kane trophy curse continues.
Not his fault that his teammates lack motivation to win 🤷♂️
@@Ibrahim-nf6yhParry Pane is finished
Harry Kane does not play defense but seriously why would they get Eric Dier??
Alonso: We never lose our face. Tuchel: scared. Thats not Bayern DNA and thats why Alosno was a player in Munich, Madrid and Liverpool.
Im sorry but these are the type of matches that kane needs to show up in and today he was totally invisible when it mattered. You cant keep using the excuse of teamates fault or team is poor. Going to bayern who win the league every year and losing the season he joins is incredible bad look. the biggest game and dropped he worst performance.
Well Bayern played at the box from left to the right and right to the left but did not play the ball into the box...what is Kane supposed to do? go outside of the box, take the ball and take shots from outside of the box? I mean it would have been better than nothing as we knwo now but still that cant be the answer.
@@wokeaf1337 yes, he supposed to be world class complete number 9 i was told that dictate play and score. He was stinkinh today when it mattered.
Dier’s magic finger🎉
If anyone can replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, it's Xabi Alonso. An absolute masterclass from his team today 🙌🔥
The thing is what Tuchel did at Chelsea, he can't do it anywhere again. Tuchel used the 3-4-3 and 5-2-3 to terrorize Europe. At Bayern they want beautiful football and attacking football which Tuchel did not do at Chelsea. Coz at Chelsea he was winning titles and important games with the 3-4-3 especially. Chelsea was not giving him pressure like what Bayern is doing. And someone might argue he used the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 at PSG and it worked. Yep it worked but it worked only in France. There are a lot of reasons why Tuchel is struggling at Bayern and don't get me wrong am not taking anything away from Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso has done a great job.
Harry kane is legit one of the worst. Mind it, England are not winning any trophy till they have kane, and bayern are going trophyless this season. Wasn't kane enough that they bought dier😂😂
hahaha you're so smart...lmao not. Go back to school kid, you probably fail all your classes.
Kane is the 🔑 of every team succes the guy is a shadow in big games.
Ppl forget that xabi alonso kept busquettes out of the startign XI for spain....absolute world class player...who looks like an office worker lol
That was so poor tacticaly from tuchel 😊
Alonso has a quit clause where he can sign for Real, Spain, Bayern or LOLerpool, no questions asked. Alonso said that he wants another club job before stepping up to Real and finally end with Spain. Will he go to LOLerpool to start the story or will he go to Bayern for glory?
It’s exciting me to think as a Liverpool fan we could have alonso as our next manager next season
The man would be a fool to leave Leverkusen now, and he doesn't strike me as one. He has something special going with his current team. Next season they will be playing UCL, which will keep everybody motivated. I can see him leaving for the 26/27 season, which is exactly how long his contract it going.
@@zenmonk5403 he did say he wanted to manage Liverpool, Real Madrid or Bayern and I think it’s a great time to take over a Liverpool team that’s class and will only improve under him. I think he’ll take over in the summer imo
@@mrchickflick4444 He has plenty of time to still manage all 3 of those clubs. I don't think he is in any rush, as he keeps saying in press conferences.
@@zenmonk5403 it’s a big opportunity to manage Liverpool tho so I don’t think he’s going turn it down. For me it’s the right time then if he does well I’m sure he’ll move to Madrid at some point
@@mrchickflick4444 It's a big opportunity for other coaches. Xabi Alonso can take his pick.
Alonso looked so restrained during the 3rd goal celebration.
Worse than picking the wrong tactics and lineup is that Tuchel didn't make any changes when he saw it wasn't working. The CBs were outrun all the time, Boey tangled his feet cause he didn't know how to play on the left, Kim and Mazraoui (who knows how to be left WB BTW) had just come back from Africa and Asia. And, well, the rest of the team sucked, too, especially Sane before the first and with the third goal, which he probably could have prevented with more alertness and effort. Thanks for that. Please go somewhere else. And take the coach with you.
Sincerely, one of many pissed off Bayern fans.
I didn't see this coming. Finally someone seems to be ready to stand toe to toe with Bayern Munich and give them the test of their own medicine is exciting and good new for German football. Enough for a time.
Xabi Alonso YNWA..PLZ break the bank FSG
I am a United fan, but it's hard to not love Xabi Alonso.
Complete shoutout to Leverkusen. Well done. But gosh oh mine, Musiala and Sane , its just unbelievable player can dissapear as much as they did today. Complete disappointment
Need him at Liverpool now.
Problem is tuchel ..last year he came in ..t Bayern was amazing in the champions league ..he came in and got kicked out ..he came in and almost lost the league ..luckily dortmund fumbled ..the team is not feared anymore
Man City, Bayer 04, Liverpool and Real Madrid, all today.
I predict that these 4 will meet in the UCL Semis Next Season.
But Inter in the final again. The real overlooked dark horse that will lift that trophy.
Never, B04 Leverkusen will not be the same team next season. They are going to buy everything out of this team, even the bench, literally LOL
@@solothebest1850 That Italian garbage wont win anything in Europe.
@@wokeaf1337you are right. Napoli had a good season and the next season they god rid of a few key players and look where they are now
Why de ligt was on the bench
I always say that if you want to beat Bayern always hit them on the counter and be solid defensively. Frankfurt did it and Leverkusen just proved it once more.
No fight, no ambition, no will to win and just pretty average from everyone not just kane. Players was literally walking during the game smh! Lazy "big club"
Bayern played like the Spurs pre Ange-era when they had Kane and Dier starting...wait...
How soon until the Klopp to Bayern talk begins?
100% now believe Harry Kane is cursed. He will never win a team trophies…I wish Bayern all the luck to brake that curse next year.😢😢😢
What does it say about Bayern that Dier walks straight into that team? Dear lord.. They were battered today, it could have been 8 or 9!!
Leverkusen vs stuttgart me wat I needed to know midweek....Chelsea are we watching how to do football without too much money...SMH
@alemoreno is a very good analyst. He's very observant. I love listening to his analysis.
I warned that Leverkusen would win 3-0 and I was insulted under this channel 😂
Bayern is a weak team that no longer scares anyone
But but Ligue 1 is a Farmer League though 🥱
And this was the meaning of your existence in the comment section. Praying for Bayern to lose because your oil little club cannot achieve anything. At least Bayern were a team that almost everybody feared playing against for most of their existence, exactly the opposite from the little oil club from Qatar called P$G
It's not like PSG scares anything since it's existence 😂
0 ucl 😂
there not a weak team for bundesliga lol
If you Import Spurs players, you become Spurs.
Bundesliga more entertaining than La Liga. 🔥
Watched the match . Had to wait to the post match interview to see Harry Kane . Did Munich even have a shot?
Ale Moreno the best commentator out there ❤
Of course is Xabi Alonso! When he leaves Leverkusen will retreat back to where it came from.
No one better to manage our club after klopp then Alonso 👍
well guess who wants Alonso too now
Xabi the new LFC manager, we will bring up the next few gears of this LFC side, and we will win everything
If haaland had the game Kane had espn would run with it till Xmas
Tuchel have really turned Bayern into a mediocre team like Chelsea. In this game he showed once again he is incapable of managing a proper big club. Just kick him out
PL mindset manager is dreadful.
@@harryjosephpangkenpong843 Exactly. And when most of them are going to manage the big big boys in Europe like Bayern, Real Madrid or Barcelona they are just getting exposed and how much overhype they received because they were in the Premier League
and replace Tuchel with who??
For me Bayern have been an overrated team long before Tuchel, it was just there was no one good enough to expose it until now. There is a reason Bayern keep getting eliminated early in all the normal seasons of the CL.
@@Delboy0 Didn't ask your braindead opinion. Normal seasons of the Champions League? Cry me a river
Davies would look very very nice in a Real Madrid Kit next year
May I remind everyone that Nagelsmann was sacked after losing 2-1 to Leverkusen?
Leverkusen I think just secured the title with this win
Xabi Alonso is highkey Gigachad
I hope Leverkusen will not choke at the last moment… the last few years.. Bayern always seems to find a way to win the league..
Kane left Spurs to win things and landed in a team of perennial winners. Suddenly, they are about to miss out on the title for God knows how long. The Kane curse!
Eric Dier is the BIG joke .
Why not make a Matthijs de Ligt ....?
Tbh it's being downhill for both Chelsea and T.Tuchel since parting ways 😞💔
Literally you can have him back. He is perfect for a joke club like Chelsea or PSG but a clown like a big European juggernaut like Bayern
Yep he's free 😊
Harry Kane is cursed.
Well said Ali 🎉Next Liverpool coach
3 bots insane
alot of clubs gonna be running to get xabi alonso for next season
What did alonzo take from benitez
Best news of the week
Xabi Alonso the next Liverpool manager, it's a done deal.😊
Alonso is staying for another season😂😂.. Watch it.. When Pep retires in 2025 he will be city's next manager.
Bayern needs Alonso
It is already clear he has a clear preference for Liverpool ahead of Bayern and Real Madrid.
@@Delboy0take your 💊
Kane left tottenham for to win trophy 😂😂😂
He'd be even worse off had he stay in Tottenham
Well analysed ESPN, thought the same when I saw line up.
Tuchel is just overrated.
Bayern should have sacked tuchel when he was gifted the league by dortmund
Bayern sacked nagelsmann that was on the race to win a treble to going trophyless with tuchel..
I want Ale's Dressing sense.
There is always a excuse for Harry Kane lol😂
Just the usual Ale theatrics... It's becoming quite a fatigue.
Honestly
Liverpool is about to get an even better Manager and Coach then they already have in Klopp
Xabi Alonso at this moment in time is the best Manager in World Football
Tuchel is horrible. Bayern made a mistake hiring him. Could see it last year
