Bayer Leverkusen closed a harmful day at the Bundesliga with a defeat against Werder Bremen (0-2) and the loss of harm to his best player, Florian Wirtz, who could remain in conflict that his team will play next Tuesday against Bayern Munich corresponding to the return of the rotation of 16 champions League.
Only the Bochum relieved Xabi Alonso’s team, which also missed a golden chance to cut Bayern points in his fight to win the Bundesliga. At the same time as Leverkusen fell to the Bay Arena, the Bavarian team lost 2-3 against the Bochum to maintain an eight-point advantage compared to its highest rival for the title.
Both teams will see the faces in just three days and the worst news for Xabi Alonso is the loss of Wirtz, who hardly endures eight minutes in the pitch. He started the quarrel between the replacements and left after the rest to try to turn 0-1 against. However, a Mitchell Weiser’s stomp on an ankle -he removed him from the field with a visible limp.
Xabi Alonso made a dangerous idea. Touched after a painful defeat against the Bayern Munich (3-0) in the first leg of the 16th Champions League rotation, he chose to play some options that still have Bundesliga with a branch of replacement with the aim of reserving headlines for returning in front of the Bávaro team.
By Leverkusen plan the historic return to the UEFA Final of 1988 as a mirror which will be seen next Tuesday. Then, Javier Clemente lost his title to the penalties after winning 3-0 in the first leg and collapsed to be defeated by the same result in return.
Xabi Alonso thinks his team can work with eight replacements to end Werder Bremen, who has only added a success to the ten official matches he played in 2025. Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, Mario Hermoso and Amine Adli only repeated the alignment with respect to the meeting against Bayern.
Names such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, álex Grimaldo, Victor Boniface or Exequiel Palacios, began the rivalry on the bench and the leverkusen was angry with Mario Hermoso’s intense mistake at the beginning of the fight.
Specifically, in six minutes, when he was wrong with a delivery and gave the ball directly to the Jens stage. Danish’s midfielder did not miss the gift, connected to André Silva and this one with Roman Schmid, who did not disappoint against Luke Hradecky. It was a pitcher of cold water for Leverkusen, who saw how his idea of proceeding with many replacements was falling.
That action was enough for werder Bremen to rest with the advantage. He resisted the weak attempt by the Xabi Alonso team, slightly satisfied with a clear chance of Aleix García’s boots, which fell to the crossbar a foul release.
It was also saved by centimeters from removing the rest with 0-2 against because Linner was right with a outside of Milos Veljkovic, which ended in the network of a loose ball with the release of a corner.
Xabi Alonso did not wait a moment to stir the bench and after the costumes they walked into the grass wirtz, palacios and nordi mukiele. Left are Xhaka, Emi Buendia and Edmond Tapsoba. Leverkusen will not disappear because a defeat is practical which means goodbye to the bundesliga.
At first, the changes did not improve the leverkusen. And, to raise it, the play was frog to Xabi Alonso, who was at the top of the weiser stomp on Wirtz’s right ankle, leaving the pitch before the silence of the public’s publicral of the Bay Arena’s public, deeply reminded of an immovable loss to deal with the conflict against Bayern.
However, announcing 2-3 by Bochum Al Bayern by VideoMarkers gave Leverkusen an additional march, which has emerged the opportunity to cut three points to his great rival for the title he has thrown himself for the return.
But then Michael Zetterer appeared to stop Leverkusen Arreón. And Palacios suffered, which he could score with two amazing -spectacular shots from outside the area to be cleared as Werder Bremen Goalkeeper.
And the Leverkusen, who recovered in search for the draw, definitely fought on the knee with Justin Njinmah’s appearance at the added time. Werder Bremen Attacker closed a conflict on the counterattack, gave a tip to his rival and left the Xabi Alonso team touched to face a return against Bayern which seemed impossible with the possible loss of wirtz.
