Bayer, without the ‘n’, is the best team in Germany. At least at the end of 2023, because Leverkusen closed the year as leaders in the best way, with a defeat against Bochum, without a chance to get anything clear (4-0).
Xabi Alonso already had first place in his pocket for this break (football in Germany doesn’t return until January 12), but Bayern’s pursuit forced him to win. This is a game to celebrate, not just the points, but Patrick Schick’s hat trick. The forward, who started the season injured, has yet to score and introduced himself in the best possible way.

The Czech, who has a past in Leipzig, started his good night by scoring from a penalty (30′), taken with mastery, and 15 minutes later he had scored two more. The second was almost immediate, with a first-time shot that went unchallenged after a good serve from Frimpong (32′), and before the break he left Bochum half-dead by making third on his personal tally with a pass from Grimaldo ( 45′).
