Bayer Leverkusen's streak

Bayer Leverkusen's remarkable unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga came to an end on Saturday as they lost 3-2 to RB Leipzig. Leverkusen led 2-0 at halftime, but Leipzig made a stunning comeback with Loïs Openda scoring twice, including the decisive goal in the 80th minute. Leverkusen's defeat marks their first loss in 15 months, ending a 35-match unbeaten run that included their entire title-winning 2023-24 season. Coach Xabi Alonso expressed disappointment, stating the team did not deserve to lose after a strong first half. Leipzig managed to clinch the victory despite their coach Marco Rose being sent off early in the match. This defeat poses concerns for Leverkusen ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixtures against Stade Brestois, Liverpool, and AC Milan.
