Bayer still strong!
Leverkusen easily wins 3-0 in Gladbach. Coach Xabi Alonso’s (41) team continues to soar.
Outstanding again: the new storm edge Victor Boniface (22). The 20 million newcomer snaps again. And even twice in Gladbach.
Double pack in the video Boniface! Boniface! look!

The tour is through a copy of the gate!
► 19 minutes: Xhaka crosses the ball towards the second post. There Grimaldo returns from the left with his head. Boniface slams it in. 1:0!
► 45th + 6 minutes: Xhaka shovels the ball towards the second post again. This time right to Hofmann. He, too, immediately returns. Tah is also correct – 2-0!
Leverkusen dominant – and is currently playing the best football in the league!
Wirtz: “Today everyone showed how well we can play football.”
The spectacular 3:2 against Leipzig already showed: The Alonso team is to be expected this year. Against Gladbach, Leverkusen keeps going like the fire brigade. In the first half alone, Bayer has 16 shots on goal, Gladbach 3 times.
► 53 minutes: Wirtz gets the ball at the center line. He dances a Gladbacher and is off. He sticks with Boniface. Friedrich and goalkeeper Omlin do not agree there. The striker intervenes – 3:0!
And Leverkusen will be even stronger!
Winger Nathan Tella (24) comes from English second division side Southampton. The transfer fee is less than 20 million euros. He was already in Leverkusen for a medical check on Saturday afternoon.
★★★
Frustration on the other hand at Gladbach! Especially in the second half, the team has no chance.
Neuhaus becomes clear: “0:3 feels really bad. We haven’t found a real antidote. Today you saw all the quality of Leverkusen. We can learn a lot from that.”
The best from the fan’s point of view: The spectacular choreo before the game: Günter Netzer with the 1971 cup and the saying “I’ll play now” – Netzer substituted himself at the time.
Gladbach would have needed someone like him against Leverkusen.
