Paris Saint-Germain must be wary. This Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen signed a third consecutive success in the league against Mainz (4-3) during the 7th day of the Bundesliga, thanks in particular to a double from its captain Alejandro Grimaldo. Three days before the duel against PSG in the Champions League, the Germans are in good shape.
After a shaky start (one win for one loss and two draws), Bayer Leverkusen took nine points out of nine possible during the last three days of the championship. With 14 points, the club from the outskirts of Cologne remains in 5th place, four points behind Bayern and tied with Borussia Dortmund, before the Klassiker of German football between the two behemoths this Saturday evening at the Allianz Arena.
Leverkusen led by two goals three times (2-0, 3-1 and 4-2), thanks to achievements from Alejandro Grimaldo (11th on penalty, 45th + 3), Christian Kofane (24th) and Martin Terrier (87th), but Mainz believed in it until the end with the reductions in the score of Lee Jae-sung (34th), Nadiem Amiri (70th on penalty) and Armindo Sieb (90th). Martin Terrier played his first minutes this season, returning from a ruptured Achilles tendon in his right foot in mid-January.
Behind Bayern, Leipzig and Stuttgart won at home respectively against Hamburg (2-1) and Wolfsburg (3-0), to move up to 2nd and 3rd places, two (16) and three (15) points behind the Munich before the Bayern match.
