Bundesliga 2023/24

I think the title race is done and dusted. I hate saying that - especially after what happened last year - but Leverkusen is up 16 points with 6 games to play. The only question is whether Leverkusen can finish the year unbeaten.

The more interesting race is between Leipzig and Dortmund for 4th and the Champions League spot. They are tied on points, and they play each other in the middle of the run in.

That's a good one. My guys are looking to leapfrog Bayern into second, also worth keeping an eye on. After what we went through over the last couple seasons, it's damn near a miracle.

We have plenty of drama, too. Check this out:

It's done. Leverkusen are champs! Unbelievable stuff.
Regardless of if they finish the season unbeaten, they somehow managed to get to the bundesliga title unbeaten _across all competitions_ to this point. That's INSANE!

Still a chance for them to win an unbeaten treble. Has that ever happened before?

So when's the last time a team without "Bayer" in its name won the league?

Also, poor Harry Kane. Spends 11 years at historic runners-up Tottenham. Transfers to Bayern who won their league eleven years in a row, and despite him leading the league in goals by a tidy margin, they fail to win the league.

The last team to win the BL without starting with a "B" was wolfsburg.

Absolute scenes in Leverkusen. Totally understandable, too. They've come so far since Xabi took over. And here's a wild stat: Die Werkself has scored 24 goals after 80' this season. It's been one hell of a dramatic run.

(Vfb is battling Bayern for second so we may have to spoil the invincibles party on April 27. Sorry. )

weirdly mirrors New Englands' run in MLS a few years ago where every win was like by one goal near the end of the game.

Leverkusen did it again. And against a Dortmund side who came to play. This team is nothing short of remarkable.

Bayer Leverkusen salvage Dortmund draw to stay unbeaten

Champions Bayer Leverkusen made it a record-extending 45 games without loss with a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund that came by way of Josip Stanišić's 97th-minute equaliser.
